I too observe that the quality and quantity of discussion on Tango-L has greatly diminished compared to 10 years ago. Since the total number of dance participants must have been increasing -- based on anecdotal observation of rising number of active tango cities, festivals and paid engagements for dance professionals -- I was trying to determine where the "crowd" is now congregating, if not on Tango-L. Of course a lot of the chatter has definitely moved into local sites that serve regional communities; that is traditionally why Tango-A was spun out from Tango-L. 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.
