[Tango-L] What does it take?

[David Hodgson]

Nina;
Offering and sharing are words and symbols. Mostly semantics.

The question is not how far the rabbit hole goes. The question is how far
does one think or assume it goes.
Then again we each get to choose where we dance, do we not.

Thank you, David.

But...  I only said what I want.  I said nothing about sharing 
anything :)  I offer nothing, share nothing, promise nothing.  It 
could be a dark place of no return... an abyss  of tango...

Many have perished from wrong assumptions.

Be careful.

Nina
