Wrote lots of stuff and:

>>>Which brings me to some of the photos LUGgers show on the net:
SNIP'
Recently some LUGgers have displayed dozens of photos taken on a 
single day. I sometimes wonder why. Were they really proud of each of 
these photos? I have yet to meet a photographer who has made a dozen 
of photos in a single day that meet the "real proud of" criteria. Or 
what criteria should there be to post photos for the LUG? Submissions 
for the next issue of the book "Worst picture postcards ever 
published"?<<<

I posted 30 yesterday.  Our opinion of the LUG differs somewhat I think.
This is not a gallery, a magazine or a masterclass; it's a loose collection
of photographers who happen to like the equipment produced by a certain
manufacturer.  I post photographs here to get a bit of help on technique and
style (something I miss the late lamented Ted for - come back Ted).  If you
want to restrict postings to the "real(sic) proud of" limitation then you'll
get a posting from me about once every five years.  I've been following PAWs
which started off as pretty mediocre and watched the content from the
photographer get better and better week by week.  Why prevent them posting
and getting opinions on their stuff.
