[Tango-L] A true tango

What a strange world this is - and what a strange list. We already have Chris UK [who???] telling 
us that Gustavo Naviera is useless. Now we have Krasimir Stoyanov - does anyone even know who 
he is or how he can dance - telling us that a legendary figure such as Juan Carlos Copes doesn't 
dance Tango. Why do so many have so little respect for those who have achieved so much. What 
is it about Tango that makes people this way? It doesn't seem to happen in the other arts. Certainly 
not in Ballroom dancing where former champions are still revered, no matter how much styles may 
change.
