Like you, I used to give them a quick "NO" vote. I began to notice that the Pentax Team was accepting them for the gallery. Now I sort of go by the aspect ratio in the sense that if it is a very dramatic pano, and has no redeeming aspects, I give it a quick "NO." Not ideal, but that's how I've been handling them. OOH, if it has a frame or watermark, it's instant toast.
