Re: [Tango-L] Truth and Truthiness

Hi Keith, I sense a sadness and nostalgia in your post. Maybe you miss the good old days? ;-) I think that writing the obit for the tango-L might be a little premature. I think that the Tango-L appears to be "comatose" because people just don't have much to say. I agree with you in that a

[Tango-L] Truth & Truthiness?

Hola; I a sense of absurdity overwhelms me regarding the 'Truth & Truthiness' dialogue that has caught so much attention of late. I've been dancing tango for nearly 10 years and a subscriber to Tango-L for about the same time and have yet to see such inane, pedantic, nit picking, and u

Re: [Tango-L] The State of Tango-L

To paraphrase Socrates: A discussion forum which has not the strength to stand-up to the critics within is not worth existing. Mr. K. Elshaw's anger and invective is hard to understand, for Tango-L is still kicking, and one should not forget that a lot has already been said here abo

[Tango-L] Truth and Truthiness

Just a suggestion - maybe you guys should spend less time at your computer and more time on the dance floor. Honestly, this has gone beyond ridiculous. Also, I've heard that that a little sunlight once in awhile does wonders for one's disposition. Santiago Sent wirelessly via BlackBerry from T-

Re: [Tango-L] No Subject - about statistics

Dear Charles: Without statistics, all you say is crap. And with statistics it would be even more crap. As about intellect, your utterrances are foolish, to put it mildly. Lucia [EMAIL PROTECTED] escribió: often tangueros from around the country will visit here to dance so I will get

[Tango-L] No Subject - about statistics

Last night, I said it seemed 90% of the people who have been killing Tango-L are men. A representative of the other 10% just declared herself with her post with this title. She can't understand my anger. Of course not. Look what she writes and how she adds to the discourse. Charles, she just gav

Santiago: Your remarks are simple, clear, concise and to the point! Just like a good Tango lead should be! Good time for a Sunny trip to..Buenos Aires!! That might clear some of the dust in the attic. Tango dancing in the sun would be my drug of choice! Dan Just a suggestion - ma

Re: [Tango-L] No Subject - about statistics

I don't understand Lucia. How can you label Charles' post as crap? It is is personal observation and nothing more or less. He has every right to post his thoughts and not have them labeled as "crap", specially when they are clearly no such thing. Charles, for what it's worth, I agree with y

I have received several private answers to my post, and I'd like to answer it publicly. >>> Gorgeous woman, sexy moves...BUT tango has NOTHING to do with twitching hips...right ? No. If you notice, she does not move her hips much. But body moves a lot in tango. If you are up to that level. Besid

[Tango-L] Firpo Waltzes

I recently lost one of my favorite CDs I picked up in Bs. As., "Roberto Firpo y su cuarteto, Tangos y Valsecitos" on the Reliquias series from EMI/DBN. One side is tangos, the other is all waltzes. They are some of the most beautiful tango waltzes ever recorded (I have never heard them played in

[Tango-L] Sad patterns

Once in a while one can indulge in a flame war. It sok I guess... But when the ratio of 'pluses' to 'minuses' becomes alarmingly high on the 'minuses' side... one must wonder. Saddly as I read LUCIA's contribution to the list I find a pattern of anger and underlying hostility. I went as far bac

Re: [Tango-L] No Subject - about statistics

I don't think you can generalise too much. There is definitely an intellectual element to tango. Just compare it, for a moment, with a dance like salsa, which is much more about getting down and dirty (that can be fun too ;-)). Also, compare something like swing which, from what I can observe,

Re: [Tango-L] The State of Tango-L

Could you ALL cut out your petty political squabbling and talk about tango please? If you want to incorporate your politics into tango you can do something constructive like a fundraiser or something. Your political biases are not important to the dance or the existence of this webgroup. Thes
