[Tango-L] Better? Worse? Just different.

[Jack Dylan]

I can't help but disagree with this, especially when it's supported by a comment
from the superficial world of fashion - IMO, nothing has less in common with 
Tango.

Part of the problem with Tango today is people following what they consider to
be the latest 'fashion'.

I think I'll stick with 'traditional'. What is Tango without tradition? Probably 
something
that's no longer Tango.
