widespread uses of PESOs and GESOs has taken over part of its role.
But a themed gallery combining the talents of members is still a nice
feature of the list, IMO. Cheers Brian

/I don't know what ever happened to him, but a grand PDML'er named Shel
Belinkoff once posted that we all talk about photos but never actually
share them and suggested that we post a picture every so often - and
thus was born the PESO, GESO, etc tradition. His comment sparked a
fantastic change to the list, back when. Shel used to also diss on
nature photography, often commentating that the greatest technical skill
that nature photographers achieved was using a long exposure to blur
moving water. He used to piss me off but I miss him - does anyone knoe
what he is up to these days?
As far as the PUG goes - it did arise in the days when it was hard to
get your photos on line. I was the third (? I think) pugmeister back in
the early 00's and it truly was a vehicle to help people get their work
online. KomKon was enormously generous to give us bandwidth and a
platform back then, then it was really not cheap to get your own website
and public forums like flicker were still a glint in the internet's eye.
