1526  Re Viruses (1)
I have software that seems to keep viriuses away.....however once my mother sent me a virius in an email and it infected everyone in my address book. A computer geek told me to enter !1000 as a new...

1527  a special night in a club de barrio in Buenos Aires (1)
Four years have passed since I had danced in El Pial in Flores, a neighborhood club with a very large dance floor. The Friday night milonga is known as La Baldosa (which means floor tile). Beto Ayala...

1528  The Best way to prevent viruses ... (11)
Tango Dancers. The best defense for viruses I have found it to use internet mail. I like Yahoo because they have a virus scanner installed. It isn't automatic but the attachments are isolated and the...

1529  Alternative tango? (2)
I have a couple of friends here who are part of the Gay/Lesbian community. They are interested in bringing tango to this community, as they did with country 2-step when that was popular, and swing when...

1530  all-weather tango surfaces? (2)
Hola all, I'm a Portland tanguera new to the list. I'm in the process of replacing and expanding my front porch and would like to make it a tango-worthy place. The porch will not be covered; so far all...

1531  Notes from Buenos Aires 8 (1)
What do the rich people know? What do they know about tango? What do they know about the pulse, the rhythm? Most of us know that tango dancing is about music and feelings. But here is something I believe...

1532  Notes from Bueno Aires 9 (1)
Guemes Street. 7mo piso. CP 1425, Buenos Aires, Argentina. 1:38 AM. What I am writing tonight is unauthorized. My previous posts have been, for the most part, a team effort. Alejandra's contribution...

1533  Rick McGarvey's posts (4)
Rick, keep it up, man! - You're writing great stuff! Don't stop! Just a couple of thoughts: 1) Try albuterol metered-dose inhaler, two puffs every 4 hours. May add: ipratropium bromide metered-dose...

1534  Rick4s Notes from Buenos Aires (1)
Dear friends from the tango list I have been reading the postings of Rick from Portland . It is very interesting to have a view from a visitor , and also all the information about places and people.

1535  Reality check - Buenos Aires (2)
Greetings, I just returned from about two weeks in Buenos Aires and read a few of Rick's postings while I was there and his most recent one now that I'm back. Although the negative things he posted are...

1536  Tango: BOTH Toilet Sex and Hoity-toity feeling? (1)
Bibi wrote: Tango after exported to overseas was portrayed as a "holier than holy" art form. In reality, could it also remain as a "ridiculous game of seduction and betrayal" ritual as Stephen described?...

1537  Instruction in the US (1)
Don't generalize too much. For myself and many of my tango friends around the country, the majority of the classes we take are taught by people who are NOT stage dancers. Of primary importance is...

1538  Notes from Buenos Aires 9 (4)
This note has multiple aspects that need to be analyzed, because it implies lack of knowledge of codes and culture. This would not have happened had the note been corrected by Alejandra as before. I will...

1539  List hosting, Archives, SPAM (4)
During the past 10 years, I've been in and out of more than 60 lists, most of them professional and a few "for fun". I am also the owner/moderator of several lists. In my experience, the best way to host...

1540  Buenos Aires: another view (1)
Due to responses from others on the list I will post notes from the Buenos Aires trip. I want to wait until Rick's posts are more or less complete. However I do it with some caution because reading...

1541  Breathing in the City of Good Airs (BsAs) (1)
Dear list, I read with interest and empathy Rick McG's story of his breathing difficulties and Steve Hoffman's medically informative response. After my partner and I returned from our month-long trip...

1542  Notes from Buenos Aires 10 (1)
This is report number 10. It's amazing, really, that just 3 short weeks ago I had no idea that I would even be in Buenos Aires, or that I would be writing anything at all. I had mixed feelings about...

1543  A little milestone (2)
Dear listeros; I confess I've not paid much attention to the voluminous stats my website server dishes out when I care to look. The satisfaction of receiving one email from an interesting visitor has...

1544  "City of Good Health" (4)
To list After I read a few messages about breathing difficulty, it dawned on me that I too suffered from it when I was down there last year. (Their late spring) I was told that there was a bug going...

1545  Air, throats and other matters (2)
"We all had tickling throat" says Bibi with a concerned attitude. Dear Bibi now that you are remembering did any big bug entered your throat while here? I recommend that you have a throat culture and...

1546  Poor taste (1)
Joaquin Concha ( I doubt very much this is his real name) says: "As for "(who regularly fall on their backs in a matter of hours, or one "date")", I think that milongueros prefer the kneel down position

1547  Notes from Buenos Aires 11 (6)
I have to tell the truth here. We aren't actually going to be caretakers of a big empty lodge in the mountains. We're going to Montevideo, and then to Colonia, which are across the mouth of the Rio...

1548  Cabin fever and cigarette smoke (2)
I have been in Argentina several times. I was able to make good friends at the milongas. I came alone. I am 33 years old. I danced milonguero downtown and salon style in Villa Urquiza. I sat very...

1549  Flights of fancy (2)
re Rick's "notes..." I would prefer, as would others evidently, that Rick stick to reporting his actual tango experiences or the like rather than his past or present flights of literary fancy. For people...

1550  Trip to BA and tests of relationships (1)
J.Concha had a valid point about testing love relationship with a trip to Buenos Aires. But generally speaking, any trip (for more than a few days) will be a good test. Buenos Aires of course is an...
