Your points are well taken, Don. I still tend to agree with the "there are lots of contests out there and PUG is a little oasis from them" (I just read that in another post, but can't remember who wrote it; was it Tom?) What I do agree with is the reminders on a regular basis that there is a PUG. Used to be that there'd be several posts as the 20th of the month approached to submit, as deadline was fast approaching. It wasn't always the PUGmeister who did this, just the usual busy-bodies on the list, minding everyone else's business but their own <g>. That seems to have faded a bit, along with general interest in PUG. It would be a great idea to revive those reminders again. One of the other things that's happened, with the current state of flux that PUG seems in these days, is that posting PUGs has been somewhat problematic for some, and confirmation e-mails are no longer forthcoming. Some poor PUGster (was it Steve Desjardins? I think so.) had at least two months in a row where he submitted and it wasn't posted on PUG. But, all of that is an aside, and I don't mean in any way to be critical of those doing a great job soldiering on through all this diversity (yes, I mean you Adelheid and Jostein). I like the reminders as the 20th approaches, and I think that would go a long way in getting submissions up, and thereby increasing interest as well.
