Freedom is a good thing.
              Fanaticim, intolerance are bad things.

Alright, alright, Sergio, I will keep quiet about the incongruencies but
could you at least leave the kitchen psychology out of here? Next thing we
are going to have a discussion following regarding the hidden penis envy of
women who like to occasionally lead, and that will be the end of my
patience...

And as for this:...

"Would all the people here in the USA, especially the
self appointed Argentine Tango teachers, please stop
telling the Argentines how to dance Argentine tango.
They know how to dance the dance.  We do not.  We need
to learn, not teach.  We are wrong. The Argentines are
right.  Period.

...Derik 's degree of bigotry is at least amusing.


Best regards
Astrid, trying to save Tango-L from turning into Tango-LOL... ; )
