[snipped]

I haven't participated because I have a web site with galleries on it,
and the link is on every one of my emails. I could PAW a link once a week
but - and I'm not trying to be a party-pooper here - and with all due
respect - this is a Pentax discussion list, and there's a lot of list
traffic already. I see no point in cluttering up peoples' in-boxes with
my pics *that may not be shot using Pentax gear anyway*.

That said, I've got no right to talk - I'm as guilty as sin when it comes
to off-topic postings, so I'll just go flagellate myself.

To PAW or not to PAW ? Doesn't really bother me one way or the other. I
suppose on balance, taking into account that this list is a bit of an
anomaly WRT email lists (in that it's *more* that just an email list -
it's a community, a gathering, a bar - call it what you will), then I
would say that anything that encourages photography must be a positive thing.

It's all academic anyway - it's an unmoderated list and so there are no
rules. Post PAWs or not, every day or just Friday.

.02,


Cheers,
  Cotty
(off for some more flagellation)
