Years ago, one of the pluses to the PUG was that many of us didn't have web space to post photos to, along with difficult or no means to create a digital image. So the PUG being a place to post was one of it's attractions. There certainly are more venues available now.
I agree that the PUG has been diminished. However, I personally find it much easier to comment on a single image like a PESO than a whole gallery - meaning I am more apt to look and comment than when confronted with a whole gallery. -- Best regards, Bruce Friday, October 7, 2005, 5:03:00 PM, you wrote: RS> On 7 Oct 2005 at 16:39, Rick Womer wrote: >> Not at all.
