To those of you that have something interesting and/or intelligent to say,
I apologize for what is to follow.

I am quite tired of receiving junk mail!!! "Real men", duh get a clue, what
a stupid topic!!! Gardel dancing simple? think about the era, and that
Tango Argentina is a simple dance, not an acrobatic endeavor. What to call
where tango is going? again duh, who gives a flying F***, what's the point?
So if I seem to get radical, and you're tired of hearing my ranting, then
someone give us a simple way of getting off this list.

Again my apologies

Jim

so, what kind of topics are you missing on the list, jim???

I am very curious to hear your more "radical" input and new topics. this
might take the whole tango list community to new insights.

This Tango list with more than 1000 subscribers and steadily growing covers
a large geographical area of the world. Area inhabited by people of
different countries, different cultures, different tastes.

I believe that over the years many interesting and educative topics about
tango have been covered.
The initial topics related mostly to the dance.
A few knowledgeable people covered other subjects including, history,
culture, music, musicians, CDs., singers, movies, activities etc.
As the members became more educated a larger number of topics have appeared.


I for one am very grateful to those that spend their time to make this list
more interesting.

I find that the ones that criticize are the ones that never contributed an
intelligent thought to this list, the ones that don't even know how to
unsubscribe without annoying the rest of us with their impolite complaints.

If you do not like what you read, please do not read, very simple.
Be more constructive and write something more interesting.
I do not accept the apologies.

It seems to me that you, and everyone actually, should post about
what you wish to read. It's nobody else's job to entertain you.

So, I suggest you either unsubscribe or start a reasonable
conversation.
