It's my impression that "fake tango" can be danced (just as badly) in many different styles. I just call tend to call bad tango "bad tango". And in fact, not even a close embrace can make me think of bad tango as good, even though the couple would just fail at *one* of your criteria for fake tango. -- Alexis Cousein [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Engineer/Solutions Architect SGI/Silicon Graphics -- <If I have seen further, it is by standing on reference manuals> _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
