I was puzzled at that, since the reason appeared to be (echoed by a few others) his "crime" of the use of irony (as they used to call it), without using a smiley (also as they used to call it before it became "emoticon"). I'd be more likely to defend it as a fast-fading art form (perhaps even in the same category as the cabeceo). But he (Michael) later clarified: > I thnk you're missing an important point. Klaus named a dancer by > name, Damian (Noughts), and described his dancing. And that indeed does justify a slap on the wrist, more so because Mr. Noughts (reports of whose departure from Tango-L seem to have been greatly exaggerated) appears to teach professionally, and this may be a back-door attempt at mud-slinging rivalry. Please consider your wrist slapped--no, not you Damian, but Klaus--but keep up the irony, if you can do without maligning others, and it may help to include a smiley, even if it takes away half the fun ... oops almost forgot to include a :-). So lighten up everybody, study up on rhetorical devices (I'll study up on run-on sentences and their avoidance), make sure to include some Tango content in each of your posts (administrator is exempt, though hey, I did mention "cabeceo" ...), and PLEASE DELETE ALL THE PREVIOUS TRAILING THREAD IN YOUR REPLIES (oops, sorry, didn't mean to shout).
