I agree, I was told the voting is allowed to continue because the "team" just can't keep up.(??) I guess my basic wonderment is why allow voting beyond 60 when there are live (new) images in the queue awaiting voters. More votes being a better quality assessment notwithstanding. I offered my appreciation for the PPG. It is a stimulant that is absolutely basic to the nature of the photo enthusiasts. Exposure, judgment and approval are sought to validate an emotional investment.
