I don't understand. If you don't like the idea, don't participate. No
one's forcing you to. In the description/comment that you send in with
each image, indicate that you don't want comment/critique of your
image. I'm sure everyone will respect that. If you want individual
comments, but not from the more formalized group that Chris set up, you
can indicate that as well. I'm sure everyone will respect that.
If you find the whole idea completely repugnant, you don't even have to
read the critiques. I only read about 1/4 of all postings here, since
most don't apply to/interest me. If a group here wants to organize, or
continue to organize these comments, we're going to do it. Anyone who
finds it silly, repugnant or a waste of time need not get involved in
any way.
regards,
frank
