[Tango-L] Can't we all get along /Was TANGO 2000 ...For DUMMIES

[Michael]

I agree with Trini. A Washington organizer was hounded to play more 
alternative music at milongas. But he's a traditionalist and resisted. It 
got so bad he sent a message asking for responses on a separate alternative 
milonga or just playing more alternative at the regularly scheduled milonga. 
The result is a separate alternative milonga. This should make everybody 
happy. The traditionalists (like myself) don't have to listen to foxtrot 
(which I dance, but not at a milonga) and others don't have to listen to 
traditional. The alternative isn't going to be 100% but more than my comfort 
level.

Everybody wins. I don't see a problem.

It's called niche marketing and works successfully in the real world. 
Catering to peoples specific needs.  It's recognizing that people have 
different needs and desires.  We can all agree with that premise, correct?
