I think the photographs submitted to FOM2 must be original ones, I mean never seen on a personal web site like PAW or something else. Otherwise where is anonymity (if this point is critical for the vote)? And I don't think we should give any comment on the LUG about the quality of the pictures of FOM2 - just vote on the request of Alastair. Just my 2 cents Bernard bernard.degaute@village.uunet.be
