Bit of a Dilemna with My First FAQ

Hi --

Seeking some advice.  I chose "Potential Romance Pairings" as my
first 
FAQ (boy, what a huge surprise!).  Anyway, I've gone through all the 
postings done (all except a few of the early ones & the latest ones). 
I've also searched through the message archives at hpanonymous (as 
many of the members overlap).  Here's my problem -- I formatted the 
FAQ with "Arguments for" & "Arguments Against" under each potential 
pairing.  This seemed logical to me.  

Problem: I have no arguments "for" Herm/Krum, Harry/Ginny, Harry/Cho 
or Fleur/anyone.  I have arguments "against" all those pairings (most 
of them mine).  I also don't have too terribly much under the "For" 
Herm/Ron, despite the fact that this is a very popular pairing.  It 
seems to just be a personal preference for some people, and they 
haven't bothered to come up with many reasons why they think it's a 
good pairing.

I want people to perceive the FAQs as neutral & unbiased.  Should I 
solicit the group for thoughts on topics where we've got holes or
just 
post it with the holes (and then people can respond if they so 
choose)? 

I'm particularly sensitive to the unbiased issue with this one, 
because I know it's widely perceived that I have very strong opinions 
on this subject.  So . . . . any thoughts?   

I can also just turn to my other FAQs and think about this one more 
later, but any general thoughts would be appreciated.

Penny
