AFAIK the PUG has never had any official connection to Pentax, it's
always been a function of the members of the group. The List was once a
function of Pentax but is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Brewer
Productions.

particularly those about giving and taking criticism, I've changed the subject
line.
One question I had was what the purpose of the PUG currently is. I believe
that Pentax used it to showcase their products, to sell more gear, i.e. what
the PPG is now. Then again it could always have been a monthly diversion for
the list members. Note that this is a different question than why would we
want more people to see the PUG, or advertise it on facebook. And, yet again
another question as to why we'd want to advertise the presence of the PDML, and
to whom.

As I understand it PUG is for list members, actively contributing or
not. Why would we want to promote it?
The idea would be to promote The List. More people might be likely to
take an interest in the PDML if they could see what kind of cool
photography is being done by members and also see a venue where they
might show off their own photographs. We can always use some new blood
around here.
I wouldn't say *always*. Look up the concept of "Eternal September", then go
and spend some time on the DP Review Pentax forum. I think that a lot of the things that
I like about this list, such as the quality of critique, when people have the time to,
has a lot to do with the fact that it isn't positioned so that it is the first place for
discussion that every new photographer with a Pentax finds.
Since I already have a Facebook page for the PDML Photo Annual,
perhaps I could just post an announcement there once a month when the
PUG appears.
If people who post to the PUG, would actually like more people to see their
photos, then announcing new material on it is an excellent idea, whether it's
facebook, livejournal, dpreview or Pentax Forums.

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
