I rarely comment on PAW and PESO photos. The PDML is difficult to keep up with and the commentary is difficult to sort. I'm not prepared to stop and view and comment on every picture that comes thru.
I much prefer to put all the comments for the PUG aside and review the gallery when I have time to give it some thought. Some months that doesn't get done, but my intentions are pure. I'm not learning much from the PAW and PESO photos and the contributors are often the same small group of folks. I wish we had wider participation from the group and a more meaningful discussion of the photos. Regards, Bob S.
