For me everything currently in p.b.i is a keeper. For example the maze 
postings, very interesting, but I'm working on other things at the moment 
and might have a closer look at it in a few weeks. Same for all other 
postings. They may not be of special interest at the moment, but can be in 
the future. Every image can be a source of inspiration. What if such an 
image is not a "keeper"? It's lost, or I (we all) have to put up my own 
archive, as Peter does.

Some questions I have on a image.temp group; When an image gets a "this is 
a keeper" what to do with the discussion it generated? Copy it and move it 
to p.b.i? Or make a summary and move it? 
What if the discussion or the technique showed is more interesting than the 
picture itself? Will p.b.i become a showoff gallery filled with the 
"Tran's, Hazelgrove's and Day's"?

Actually I'm _verry_ happy with the current set up of the groups. I never 
minded downloading p.b.i when I was still was on a telephone. The only 
thing I didn't like was the unnecessary use of big .bmp/.png files when 
there was no small detail in the image that needed these file-sizes.

The addition of the p.o-t was an excellent idea, keeps the other groups 
cleaner. And somehowe we manage to be on topic in p.off-topic most of the 
time, that is no POV-Ray topics. So if you don't read it you won't miss 
anything POV.
