I disagree too.
I do not submit to the PUG because I shoot almost exclusively slides, and I
have no access to a slide scanner (actually, since about one week I do, so
maybe I will participate now too). However, if I did submit, I would fully
expect to hear from people who can help me improve my skills.
I would be happy to receive positive comments, I would be happy to receive
constructive comments, and I would be unhappy but not offended to receive
pure negative comments. Comments which are just mean would ruin my mood
for a few hours, but I'll get over it.
So, in short, I find commenting on the PUG to be a good idea, especially if
you attempt to show in your comments what exactly is bad and how it can be
done better.
Still related to this topic, I find that PUG comments do not belong to the
PDML. If we have chosen to have the PUG as a separate (Web) site, then
comments should also belong there. I know that this means a lot work for
the PUG meisters, so I will not insist on voting the comments away from the
PDML. But for someone who is not a member of the PDML but looks at the
PUG, he/she has no idea that photos get commented, or at least cannot read
comments on photos other than his/her own.
Cheers,
Boz
