Bingo! Unfortunately, even in the days of 50 entries in the PUG, it was rare for me to get a comment on any of my entries. That meant I was less motivated to submit a photograph (partially because I always tried to go out and shoot something special, rather than just rummaging through my collection of images) and, perversely, less likely to comment on other entries. Nowadays I get at least a few comments if I should post a PESO. Admittedly it's usually the same handful of people who comment. But that's what I'd expect - there are more than a few photographers on the group who are unlikely to ever receive a comment from me, mostly because their style of photography is very different from mine. And, I'm a little ashamed to admit, even though this is a photography group the demands of real life mean I don't have time to look at every PESO, GESO, WINO or MOJO that gets posted. I'm sure others are equally selective in their viewing. Back when it was just the PUG, once a month, I always used to find the time to take a look through the entries. And not just the entries from the names I knew; it was a good way to see what some of the other people were doing. I'd welcome a return to those days, but you can't put the genie back in the bottle. If people prefer PESOs to PUGs then I fear that is the way we will have to go. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
