It's just the costs seem to grow so much more according to scale than
the benefits.

Well, I agree. I have no vested interest in artificially inflating the
ranks of PDML readers, let alone participants. I tend to think that
things like listservs should grow (or die) organically.
That being said, the PDML doesn't have the market cornered on good
imagery created with Pentax cameras, intelligent conversation, or even
polite discourse. Some of the insults perpetrated by Bill on this list
(to use just one example) are far more offensive than anything I have
seen on Pentax Forums or the dpreview Pentax forum. Reminds me of the
old joke "I didn't come here to be insulted!" to which Groucho Marx
replied "Oh? Where DO you go?". I've been guilty of breaches in that
regard myself, so people, rocks, glass houses, etc.
Regarding selling items here on FSF... if you expect this to be The
Venue for moving your surplus equipment there is a line I enjoy from
the movie "The Princess Bride":

The simplest and easist way to "evangelize", if one wants to do it, is
to frequent the other places that Pentax people hang out, make a sig
line that points to the PDML, and post often enough in those places
that people see the your sig and check the PDML out. The "danger" of
doing that is possibly discovering that you prefer posting there to
posting to the PDML.
The real danger is inadvertently turning the PDML into Pentax Forums or
DPReview.
