I'm NOT an apologist. But I thought I'd look at the site and see.
The National Portrait Gallery in the U.K. runs a prestigious
Photographic Portrait competition and the registration fee is only £16 -
say $30?

Steve,
I don't think that _you_ were being "attacked" for spamming the list.
I think
the spam referred to the call for entries at $60 - you have nothing to
fear!
BTW, any topic of general photo interest is welcome on PhotoForum! It
does seem
it is "easier" to talk about hardware than about esthetics so that in
my opinion
is that we see little discourse about content and much about tools.
But, that is just the way it is. If you can think of a way to
encourage discussion
of images by all means you are encouraged to do so!
Cheers,
Andy

Sorry if you all consider this "spam".
I was just trying to pass along information on a photo contest.
