Subject: Well intentioned faux pas

I do not post to this list very much though I enjoy the Tango
discussions and like the sense of community this list engenders for
people around the world. But I felt morally obligated to post about the
latest incident concerning the pilfering and publicizing of personal
correspondence of a member of the Tango community.

I can only imagine my own mortification were the contents of my email
Inbox broadcast over the internet to friends and strangers alike. To
further compound the indignity, by then having my emails dissected,
analyzed, explicated upon and then to read sensationalistic theories on
my character and state of mind would be beyond reprehensible. I realize
that it can be difficult to pretend that the emails never existed, much
akin to being unable to turn away from watching a car wreck, yet it is
the only socially responsible thing we as a Tango community can do.

The contents of those personal correspondences were maliciously posted
by someone with the intent of harming the character and integrity of
another person for whatever reason. Were we to inadvertently see some
other blunders in a non electronic form, we would ignore it and try to
forget what we had seen in order to allow the person their privacy. We
seem to have forgotten this rule when these emails were posted to a
mailing list, and I must decry the scrutiny that we have given these
illicit emails, no matter how well intentioned our postings might be.

I would kindly ask that everyone please desist from posting further on
this topic as no good can come of it. If you must have your voyeuristic
fantasies and cravings to be an amateur psychiatrist fulfilled, might I
suggest spending a few dollars at your local den of iniquity?

Steve Brown is very clear in his answer to Susans question "Intention".

He tells us; " Okay I bite:

As dance, I project my intention with the movement centered in my spleen
and projected my chest and abdomen. Women who generally try to stay
between my shoulders generally can follow what I lead.

I take a similar approach to teaching.

--Steve

I on the other hand use a multiple approach, sometimes I project the right lobe of the liver, sometimes the Thyroid, and on certain difficult situations I use my coccyx.

If the music is very sweet I may project with my pancreas.

Women that generally try to stay between my legs follow the lead with ease.

When I teach I project my intention with my cerebellum but if she is slow to get it, I signal with a rapid move of my head to the left, or I may wink with my left eye, this is a little tricky because I am crossed eyed, they sometimes look at my wink and start doing front ochos, non stop; occasionally out of desperation I whisper in her ear, "for God's sake step to the left", and I smile because this generally works.

If I could only find it so easy to project intention and get others to
follow or to want to follow in other aspects of life, such as driving down
the highway. ;-)

In that case, try using your prostate.
