    Well, of course, the easiest first step is to start
      reviewing.  Have you looked at this week's gallery?  Do you really
      have no questions, curiosity, opinions?  Someone looked at
      something I put up last week and wanted to know how it was done. 
      I was hoping if I explained I might start a conversation, but it
      fell flat there.
      

    You know, we're all photographers.  I share my stuff on Facebook and
    my friends all have thoughts and we share them.  There's no good
    reason that can't happen here, except that people are weary of
    discussing each other's work.
    

    I post things here hoping to have
      them discussed so that I can become a better photographer.  I can
      take and look forward to criticism for that reason.

    
      I suppose if we can agree that that's what's going on, maybe Andy
      could decide to finally retire the list.
      

    I hope not.  I am not a fan of
      facebook.   

    
      But if you don't want to talk about our work here, please ask to
      be my friend on Facebook.  I'll miss some of you if you don't.
      

      One last thing - I know there's a Photoforum page on FB, but FB
      has made Pages very inconvenient to get to in the last year, as
      part of its campaign to make the site financially viable.  Most of
      the Pages I've subscribed to I must actively go seek out now,
      instead of just having postings land in my News feed.  So I find
      the personal friending routine more conducive to actually getting
      stuff seen.
