Three or four weeks ago I put several image judging procedure questions to PPG with no response. In the past, such questions had received a fairly prompt response. Their silence is likely due to a heightened aggravation level resulting from new system frustrations.

A couple of years ago I talked to one of the Pentax people who was one of the judges at that time; they're Pentax employees who have real, full-time jobs and just fit in the PPG judging when they have spare time. If it's still working the same way - and I have no reason to think it wouldn't be - I'd expect to see photos being added at all kinds of odd days and times of day. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
