That's pretty much exactly how I feel.
I still find it a bit hard to understand how someone could submit
an image to the PUG, but not want it to be discussed. But apparently
there *are* people who feel this way, so I'd support a 'no discussion'
request. I think the default should be to allow discussion, though.
And I think the discussion *should* stay on the PDML. For one thing
I want criticism from PDML members simply because I've come to know
a bit more about them from their other postings. Some people I agree
with; others, I know, have a significantly different worldview. That
gives me a little more context in which to evaluate their comments.
And, dammit, if we *can't* talk about photographs made, by PDML
members, with (mostly) Pentax gear, then what is the point of the
group? More endless nitpicking about the smallest technical details,
moaning about the cameras that Pentax don't make, and speculations
about what might get released in the next lifetime. Yawn.
To repeat an epigram: Nice equipment. Now show me your photos.
