     I agree with Nina that someone at a milonga insisting on sitting
around at a table talking about the intricacies of tango rather than
simply dancing would be both silly and somewhat of a buzz kill.  But
this isn't a milonga--it is a mailing list set up for the express
purpose of talking about tango, and as such, I agree with Alexis that
it seems strange to question people for merely indulging in the very
premise of the mailing list.
