encores – yes or no?

UPDATE: C’mon folks – try the poll, it won’t bite!

Recently the subject of encores has come up on my radar, both for recitals, solo performances with orchestra, and orchestral performances. I’m of two minds on this subject, and before I let loose with my insider opinion on the matter, I thought that this might be the perfect time to get an opinion from you, my trusted (and amazingly anonymous) readers.

Do you think that encores are a good idea or a bad idea?
