I have considered adding a Pov users galleries section to my collection
but have resisted it simply because the sheer number of them that exist
would be a maintence nightmare. People change websites and providers
like clothing and it is hard to keep a "broken link" free page up to date.
My current data base is already a serious challenge to keep up with and
adding that section would seriously add to that burden. I may change my
mind in the future but don't expect it anytime soon.

 The reason I respond with this is only to let you know why I have not
added such a section but do not see anything wrong with the concept in
principal. I also feel that the POV-Ray webring is already idealy suited
to people that want to advertise their POV-Ray exsitance on the web so
what you propose may simply add redundancy to an already established
system.
