Yes, and for me, that's not true of most of the "cutting edge" sites 
I've seen.  They all seem to either rely on a gimmick or are too 
artificial.  I guess I'm just an old grouch.  I want a photograph to 
communicate something to me besides "what the heck is that" or "why 
did they bother to print that".  Those are the responses I have to 
the cutting edge sites and all of the local "art" photography 
exhibits in the Charlotte area.  I think the photos sent in by the 
LUG members are better than 99% of these cutting edge sites!!  At 
least they are true and genuine.  Grump :-(
