No it's not. No one is "bashing" anyone. Someone else wrote: > Yes, Greg is like that at times..... ;-) > Hey folks. Let's please try to avoid personal attacks. It makes the newcomers to the list nervous. Without some kind of critical comments there is no way we can advance any tradition. When I am critical I try to be as even-handed as possible. In the above case I mentioned no one. I was being critical of the behavior of all callers...including myself (as I mentioned earlier in this thread.). Ok, "The King has no clothes!" "Callers are human beings!" and all of us make mistakes. I am amazed and grateful for the tolerance and graciousness of the dancers when I call. If I look like a competent and capable caller it is because of them. If you have critical comments about this or any of my other ideas I welcome the discussion. - Greg McKenzie West Coast, USA
