There is no need to get defensive as my comments were not an accusation, 
merely
an observation -- that tango people are quiet and not attention-seeking, 
and that
could be detrimental to the creation of positive PR for tango, since 
unqualified people
are going to try to do it for you anyway.

I do not feel compelled to pull out my credentials, which is after all 
very similar to
the hundreds of fanatics around the world who took it upon themselves to 
launch
tango communities in their corners of the world: organising milongas, 
running
workshops, sending press releases to the media, operating dance studios, and
then one day, finally, quitting our day jobs to pursue this full time, 
plus spending
some time living in Buenos Aires.

Like I said, history is made by those who show up for the action.
