Hi,
although I didn't yet contribute much to PUG, I agree with Cotty that
Pentax in PUG stand for the use of Pentax gear. I think the range from
Optios to 67s is broad enough, isn't it?
As for the size, I think pictures should not be allowed too large. Not
everybody owns a large screen, and I do not want anybody need to scroll
for viewing a picture. 700p in height should be enough. Maybe 800 in
width. Larger is always better, but I feel discomforted when I watch
larger pictures on my work screen, and cannot see the whole of it.
As to size regarding compression, it hurts me compressing pictures. But
of course, we should not abuse bandwidth that's offered to us for free.
Size is not everything that matters.

Cotty, profundly, told us:
Looks like I'm the only dissenting voice, and I haven't contribute to
the PUG for quite a while. However...
This is a Pentax list, yes? Why would anyone want to display pics, in
the PUG or as a link from an email posted to the list, that were shot
using equipment other than Pentax?
If I post a link to a web page of mine containing an all-Canon image,
then I label it as OT because it is off topic, because it seems the
sensible thing to do, not because anyone has ever told me that this is
how it must be done.
I remember a few years ago there being some discussion about what
equipment qualifies a shot for the PUG. Someone asked about a Ricoh body
with a Pentax lens, and the general consensus was that it was to be
allowed. This list, although owned, is effectively unmoderated, and as
such develops as a community with general agreement by contributors on
the way it is run.
I dare say that if the majority feeling is that any gear should be
allowed for the PUG, then that is what will happen, but for my part it
seems plain daft. It's a Pentax list. Show Pentax pictures. Talk about
Pentax gear. QED.

Cotty
