But Tango-L is a forum for deeper, more universal topics, a place for Q & A, and a place to get opinions from peers. I hope going into 2012 there will be a resurgence in its central role in the Tango world.
--- Kace, I think that with today's media, the tolerance for deep discussions solely through the written word has dijminished. Today, people want to be entertained with strong visuals and not just informed. With social media, there is so much of a need/expectation of positive reinforcement, then people are less likely to offer critiques of what people post. It's leading to a society of wusses.
