I'm amazed that any regular reader of Tango-L could have missed
the ... 'violin debate'. And, yes. it did seem endless. I don't recall
your website being mentioned but someone else did use the analogy
of the woman being the 'violin'. I certainly don't want to restart that

Thanks for the word on the thread.I have looked back in my own
archive and found it was going on from Dec 21 to Dec 25th of 07.
That's not exactly 'endless'... But the time period would be reason
