When I started using Pentax gear and I discovered the
PDML, I liked to look at the PUG because there I could
see what other's did with an equipment similar to mine
(so, it was my fault, not the equiment's fault ;-) ).
This way I could resist better the temptation of the
Dark Side.
One of my main motivations for submitting was to be
mentioned in the monthly PUG comments. It was great
the first time I got one (I think it was J.Buhler in
2001).
Now, there is a lot of people showing their pictures
in PESOs and PAWs so the PUG is not the great monthly
'event' it used to be.
But this is just an interpretaion of the gallery
utility. The second one (to be commented ant
critizised) can be achieved in many other places, but
the first one (to discover what can be done with
Pentax equipment) is not that easy to find.
