Now that the maelstrom has died down, a few thoughts.
I think maybe I could have said the same thing to Francis in a more gentle way. I think I might have been a bit more constructive. I really liked Ken's suggestion of saying one way I might thing the photo could be improved. I kind of tried doing that, but looking back, I don't think I was as explicit as I could have been.
Second, I've had off-list convos with both John and Francis, and everything's cool there. Apologies (from me) where they should be, and explanations where they should be, and I think everyone's happy, or at least understanding of different positions.
And, finally, my one liner "because I feel like it" to John wasn't really very nice, and I apologize to John and the list for that.
This should end the thread.
cheers, frank

Hi!
It took me some time until I got to the Frank's message and some others. You know, I am at work with cup of good green tea after lunch. Most of my e-mail is by now at my home PC... Anyway.
Here is my opinion.
I think Frank does a tremendous job and puts to this a lot, like a real lot, of effort into it. It would be a great shame if he would be put down or discouraged because of some of his comments. You know, at times I don't agree with him and with other people who comments on PAWs. But that's natural, isn't it? I humbly and personally think that Frank is one of the most pleasant people to be in disagreement with. If you know what I mean <g>.
Anyway, personally, I try to comment on as many PAWs as I possibly can. Still I try to adhere to a rule that if I don't quite like some image and I cannot really point out what is wrong or suggest how to improve it, then I normally don't say a word. However, the level of PDML PAW is considerably higher than your average photo sharing web site. So I am trying very hard to still comment as much as I can. Though I am not saying that I never broke that rule <g>...
It would be a huge shame if such talks would pop up like this one did.
Let us have fun, not flame wars...
Just my cents...
Boris
