Paul, I think one problem may be lack of time: I have commented on every
picture on one occasion, but it took forever to do.
In addition, a couple of quite nasty comments were made in response to
comments (not mine) which were not fulsome in praise of some persons'
'masterpiece', so people tended to become circumspect in making any
unfavourable comment at all.
I also am very slack at remembering to submit!

Subject: Re: PUG (No longer Re: *istD2)
For a short time a few years back, we had a half dozen volunteers who each
commented on a number of photos for each PUG. It was a discussion starter
and led to more comments. I thought it was a pretty nice way of developing
some dialogue, but it was canceled after just a few months. I wouldn't
mind seeing a return to that and would again volunteer to comment.
