I think comments like this are what killed the Tango-L list. It's like 
going to the Metropolitan Museum in NYC to see the paintings and then 
announcing to the art lovers there that Picasso and Monet are not true 
art because they modify the traditional rules of art, and only Rembrandt 
is authentic art according to how you see it.

You're going to get a lot of disagreement and some people will want to 
argue with you and others will want to tune you out. But after a while 
even the people who would argue with you will tune you out and stop 
contributing to discussions on the list or even reading it because it 
consumes too much personal bandwidth filtering out noise from trolls.

Even though I personally dance more traditional than Gustavo and Chicho, 
I can tell by watching their videos that they have unparalleled 
musicality and technique and they should be studied for their skills and 
how I could use that to improve my own dancing.
