[Tango-L] Marketing or hype?

[Tom Stermitz]

Naaah, not fraud. It's just the same Superlative Crisis that has been  
sweeping the world these last few years.

There just aren't enough superlatives to deal with all the extra- 
ordinary, far beyond mortal, Gods among mere god-lets that we have in  
tango. If the last great master was beyond amazing, then the next one  
has to be a master of masters.

Sure, he's just a shoe salesman, but he's <hushed-awe>ARGENTINE</ 
hushed-awe>.

Where will this nuclear arms race ever end!?
