Of course!!  That's the whole point of doing a PAW -- well, one of the
points anyway.  One message stating "look, you stupid bugger, if you're
going to take photographs of people, make sure you get close enough so that
the viewer can identify who it is!" is worth ten messages say "yeah, nice".

The latter.

Yes.  Absolutely.
