Good point. There are obviously some valid reasons to keep the PUG
"Pentax exclusive." Perhaps we don't even need to admit Samsung
entrees. After all, it's not meant to be democratic, it's meant to be
Pentax.

When I started using Pentax gear and I discovered the
PDML, I liked to look at the PUG because there I could
see what other's did with an equipment similar to mine
(so, it was my fault, not the equiment's fault ;-) ).
This way I could resist better the temptation of the
Dark Side.
One of my main motivations for submitting was to be
mentioned in the monthly PUG comments. It was great
the first time I got one (I think it was J.Buhler in
2001).
Now, there is a lot of people showing their pictures
in PESOs and PAWs so the PUG is not the great monthly
'event' it used to be.
But this is just an interpretaion of the gallery
utility. The second one (to be commented ant
critizised) can be achieved in many other places, but
the first one (to discover what can be done with
Pentax equipment) is not that easy to find.

As others have observed, PUG submissions are
significantly
down as compared to previous years. While I'm sure
that
a lot of this is because of the upsurge in
PAW/PESO/...,
I really don't feel this is the time to make it
harder to
submit to the PUG.
It's my belief that the restrictive rules (only
Pentax gear
for the PUG, but anything goes for a PAW)
contributes in no
small way to the decreasing significance of the PUG,
and if
any change were proposed I'd suggest just dropping
the rule.
It's not as if we expect the PUG to be overrun by
submissions
from outsiders, after all. I'd like to see the best
work from
any of the list members, no matter what camera they
were using
that day.
