Just makes me *cranky* :P

Anyways, the FAQ, which seems to be missing in action, but is able to be
accessed at web.archive.org says:

"3.2 If I work in the wine business, am I welcome to post on
alt.food.wine?

Absolutely! Alt.food.wine welcomes all people who are interested in
wine. Although alt.food.wine is a noncommercial group, we have many
contributors who are in the trade, and we value their knowledge and
opinions. ->>>However, you should be careful to keep your contributions
from becoming "stealth ads" for your business (group members are
generally smart enough to notice). If you are commenting on a subject in
which you have some financial interest (e.g. you are describing a wine
which you import or distribute), it is a good idea to disclose your
connection in your post." <<<-

Maybe if I have time over the holidays, I'll check the links, and if
it's possible to host on a Geocities site, I'll throw a copy up there.
Otherwise, if anyone else can host the FAQ, I'd be happy to help in
whatever way I can... d
