I guess it had to happen, as it has happened before to Sergio and others.
This has the big advantage of saving me lots of time for no less worthy
endeavours, since I do not want to run the risk again.

I want to apologize to Deborah Holm. I obviously do not think that he is not
100% sane, if any of us is. That is just a metaphor for my inhability to
understand her reasoning in some matters, or her unpredictable reaction to my
writing once.

Of course I apologize to the list.

Best,

Wow! I was on vacation and almost missed this entirely.

Hey bucko, how about apologizing to yours truly, with whom you shared
pleasant if rigorous private correspondence (rather than "ignoring" my
posts as you claimed) that ended on a gentlemanly note, apparently false?

Now that I know you are in NYC I will endeavor to meet up with you at a
milonga on my next trip, and you will see how easy it is to generalize
about "liberated female pigs" whom you have not yet met. I'll be the one
with my skirt over my head, unless of course I'm wearing pants. And I'll
scan the room for a man with two faces, one of them beet-red. :-)

Astrid,

I don't understand if Carlos Lima is no longer on the
Tango-L list, but I never had any private email with
him. Does he know that I am a woman? In his
apology to me, he refers to me as a man. I have
never met a man named "Deborah" or "Deb."
