[Tango-L] Can somebody shed some light on the subject

[Club~Tango*La Dolce Vita~]

There you go again, Nina... "use cabaceo"...! Use 'it'...? Is 'it' some sort of secret weapon???
 
Nina (or should I say, Socrates), you ramble on with your 'would-be' philosophical diatribe designed to belittle my posting. Please realise that yes, indeed, it DOES interest me that you see fit in your desire to suppress others' opinions on matters posted, such as mine. However, my posting was not mere opinion... it was factual and commonsensical, and herein lies the rub. Commonsense.
 
To me, it seems non-sensical to whitter on about some secret quasi-'Shaolin' technique that has do be performed so correctly, precisely, exactly, when in fact the concept of what's being discussed is exactly what I've already posted as a matter of commonsensical fact. Our Tango List friend Manuel was perfectly correct in his observation that you Americans seem so obsessed with discussing the precise angle of ocho turns, foot position, etc etc etc... You know what? It's all rubbish (that means 'garbage', my colonial friends). Just bloody well dance, observe correct BASIC technique, forget patterns (as a 'learning' tool), and everything will perfectly (hopefully) fall into place respective of YOUR OWN bodytype, height, dimensions, weight, mass, smell, coordinative skills, balance etc etc etc...
 
You know, the American forces a number of years ago did research on the correct and oh-so-precise way to walk/march. You know what? It created so much havoc with regard to the amount of foot/ankle injuries that they had to try and undo the calamity they created. What happened? Well, they did not take into consideration that we are each individuals. We walk differently because of the personal factors identified in my previous paragraph! Trying to correct something that is normal to any particular individual does nothing but open a veritable Pandora's Box of trouble.
 
Nina, I have here given you a free education. ;-) Please embrace the knowledge thus bestowed, and please don't hit me with more of your attempts at philosophical demeaning.
 
Philosophical regards to all (you, too, Socrates),
 
Dani
