"... surely ..." nothing. Again, it's your option. If the gallery is compelling to me, I spend the time. What you do is up to you. > YOU are entitled to your choices about what to download and look > at BUT I don't think that your preferences should determine what > other people can do. I didn't say anyone should do as I do, or had to do as I do, or had to have the same opinion about it. I said what I'd do and what I'd recommend for the PUG's future as a viable gallery. Anyone else should make their own decision about it. I suggested that the PUG gallery is inadequate now for me as a place to post my photos, and that I'll pass on posting to it because of that. The PUG ought to be improved ... it's no longer 1998 ... but that's not up to me to decide. There are dozens of places for me to post pictures for others to enjoy or critique, themed or unthemed.
