I believe the PDML has grown in recent years. Only listguy knows for sure, but it seems we have a steady influx of new members.
I have no interest in flickr and, like others, will call it quits if the group migrates there. BTW, I recently sold a dream cruise photo to someone who found it on photo.net. Sales aren't exclusive to flickr. And, as I said earlier, members are free to use flickr as much or as little as they please. We're a list with few restrictions, and I hope we stay that way.
