[Tango-L] Tergiversar = to distort, twist

[Nina Pesochinsky]

Thank you so much for your encouragement about the delete key. It is a  
lovely feature and I have practiced using it over the years with such  
enthusiasm that I dislocated a finger.

However, I was not complaining about the useless posts.  Instead, I  
asked a question about something that people seem to value.  I would  
like to know what is valuable in extreme analysis of transitory  
experiences.
