Then then can write to you directly and you can write to the contributor
directly. I've done that in both directions and it's great because, if
you choose to, you can get into a conversation with someone on the other
side of the planet from a possibly *very* different culture to find out
what they think not only about your pano but life both here and in their
country. It's great and leads to the breaking down of the, sometimes
vast, political boundaries put up by our respective governments and you
can see that "they" are just the same as "us."
