[Tango-L] I think that the nebula has lifted

[astrid]

Oh, no ! I think, now you did it, Sergio.
 We had at last reached the point where I felt some hope that our "list
hog", the way I call him in my mind, as he has been hogging the list, and I
got several postings from him EVERY day for days in a row, might at last be
a little discouraged from posting like this.
Thank you Michael for outing on the list what is behind all this, and yes, I
vastly enjoyed Tine's response to this. I had been even weighing whether I
should contribute to the collection of donations proposed by Michael
Ditkoff, be it for a ticket to Paris, Galapagos or anywhere else.
And here comes Sergio, and I incredulously read him likening a small group
of close embrace dancers meeting in a little cafe once a week to the
communist regime of Russia and China. And as far as I recall, Sergio,
Michael Figart was never one of those on the list who militantly defended
close embrace as the only acceptable form of tango. He said, that he loves
to dance it, yes, but he was not getting on anyone's nerves about it, at
least not on mine, and I am not known for endless patience.
Well, Sergio, if this brings us another series of weeks or months of
receiving an avalanche of "utter guff" from our notorious list hog who you
now encouraged, it is all your fault.

Sorry, Derik, no hard feelings
