Most of these date back to 2001 to 2004. How relevant is information about tours of factories and wineries that is 8 years old. What about cyber cafes and cafeterias and beer halls? Eastern Europe? How much has that changed the last 8 years? What do you think?

The Graffiti Wall has collapsed.

I like the question and answer format of the Helpline. If the Helpline had more categories - along what were included in the Graffiti Wall - there would be more use.

"Foot and Mouth Disease" can go, but I am wondering why there is no Mad Cow section? "Festivals" would be a good one to be active instead of archived, as would "Open Air Museums". "Cyber Cafes" is not very useful as these places come and go and besides, they are all over the place and you usually do not have to research where they are. Do we really need "Travel during the Iraq War" or "Anti-Americanism"?

Perhaps someone could start a "Winery" thread or "Factory tours" thread? We have already had the Gross Tradional Edilbles, ATM's versus travelers checks, Jet lag cures, Laundry tactics, Learning from Europe, Train travlers tips, Travel with Allerigies.

I think the "Euro support group" is funny as is the "European TV Guide" and "New Years Resolutions". I also wonder how many of those "Virgin Hilltowns" are still virgin after being on here.

A lot has changed in these areas. I use the CURRENT letters as useful information. Archives are useful only as GUIDES knowing that they may be dated. Not to be relied on.

If I need current info, I email questions to the appropriate people.
