However, the online forums don't always share our tastes. Godfrey created the SeePhoto forum and I created the PAW forum after several of the forums voiced their dislike for posting photo announcements on the LEG and LUG. More recently, the SP forum has had some protracted discussions about the Salon feature. I don't think many of the camera-oriented forums would welcome a contest. The Contax G forum is an exception because, I assume, there's so little Contax G equipment to discuss.
