Hello Boris, It isn't my intention to modify PUG or PAW (I like PESO better), just a comment on the seeming lack of value/interest in the PUG - especially since we started doing PAW.
I wasn't thinking anything about a competition of sorts, just perhaps a way to make the PUG be of more interest to the list. For me, PAW works well on the commenting side of things, because you are only dealing with one and you can look quickly and comment quickly. I just wonder if there isn't a way to make the PUG work more like it. Perhaps having someone send in a single link to one picture in the PUG sort of like a PAW and let the collective group view and comment on it.
