Bingo! Community fragmentation.
It's not that anyone posts photos anywhere in particular. It's when the
discussions jump to the other venue or split between them.
I like the way the PDML works and I'm not interested in splitting.
Amen. I've been on a lot of lists over the years. PDML works as is.
The people who have been here long enough have seen it weather storms
that would have killed many lists, like getting unceremoniously thrown
off Pentax' servers. In the context of the PDML, "as is" changed
considerably from 1998 to now, in the detail, but very little in the
broad vistas. There's a valuable and ever shrinking place in society
for a "free-for-all among (usually) courteous folks".
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.

You always have the "proper" historical reference, you bastard. :-)
