Richard,
Don't give up. Not every PAW is according to Kyle. This and the FOM2 
projects are designed to encourage the use of the Leicas (it is a Leica 
USERS group ;-) ) but its flexible. Put images up on your PAW which may 
interest others, or you hope to have reviewed. It is pointless putting up 
rubbish JUST because it was taken that week. Sonny must be grumpy ;-) 

Cheers
