I don't think anyone is suggesting moving the PDML to Flickr, just having somewhere that people can post pictures under the PDML banner if they want to. Personally, I'm not interested in doing that because I have my own website where I can do whatever I want without having to worry about reading T&Cs etc, as Chris M stated. I wouldn't want anyone to think I was 'anti-' their use of Flickr or anything else, except as follows. If conversation about the pictures takes place on Flickr then you have de facto split the PDML, since the PDML is principally a discussion forum. Like others, I don't have time to follow more than one discussion list, so I'd be highly unlikely to take part in any discussions on Flickr. I have at various times subscribed to other photo lists, and I still subscribe to a somewhat comatose software engineering list, so I know that I like the way the PDML works and I'm not interested in splitting. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb_qHP7VaZE> As for 'old skool' long-time members, I don't see that as a problem. The Athenaeum Club has been dozing on for centuries in Pall Mall, while young people and their 'disco-theques' and hippity-hoppity music have come and gone like the Hittite Empire of old. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B86z1cwZtI> B -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
