Those of you who've read the Oregon thread may know that the question
has arisen over whether an alt.food.wine FAQ should contain specific
travel advice about wineries to visit in a given region, restaurants to
frequent, etc. Here are the pros and cons as I see them:

Pro: relieves people of having to repeat recommendations
makes readily available the suggestions of many different posters,
some of whom may no longer be active on alt.food.wine

Con: recommendations may be dated or no longer accurate
discussion in the newsgroup may bring new recommendations to light
the value of recommendations without knowledge of the person's
tastes is limited anyway

Although I've already written up a number of different recommendations,
I honestly have no dog in this hunt. If sentiment runs to the negative,
it'll save me (and others) a lot of work. OTOH, I am more than happy to
continue my efforts if people think that it's a valuable thing to do.

So, could people voice their opinion (yea/nay/other) in this thread?
Let's have a vote, or something like it.
