Ah, how very Enlightened of you to point that out.  ;-)  God forbid  
that the subject should broaden.  Very bad taste indeed!

Let us continue to smile the Smile of Reason and confine ourselves to  
the subject at hand.  Continuo.  Albeit there was much opportunity  
for improvisation on the part of the continuo player, there were in  
fact many "rules" governing continuo, and I don't think it  
unreasonable to assume that, improvisation notwithstanding, those  
were the rules they played by.
