David,
I hope that youngsters like you eventually understand that there is 
no wasted bandwidth.
As you grow much, much, much older and get to be my age, you will 
hopefully find out that there is something to be learned from every 
post -- even if it's to reject the post as uninformed nonsense.
So, I believe the threads are all useful in some way.

By the way, I also dance close embrace, and encourage it at the 
weekly, all level, afternoon practica I host on the east side of 
midtown Manhattan in New York City.
I do not insist that attendees also dance close embrace -- they can 
practice whatever style they want.
However, I do announce that even though it is a practica, keeping the 
ronda is essential.
That's so they also practice for the real world of the milonga.
