The Olympus list has run two private exhibitions recently that have been 
interesting.  We've taken images during a specific 1-2 wk time frame, 
possibly with a theme or specific focal length restriction.  The images are 
then posted within 1 month to allow for scanning and page preparation 
time.  They are posted without names, but with any comments the 
photographer wishes.  An open discussion usually results, and we reveal the 
names a couple of weeks after the posting.

The current "gallery" is at http://www.whitneygallery.com/Olympus2/

I agree with the issues regarding MSN and Microsoft's "usage rights".  I 
don't want us to get into that debacle.
