Re: [Tango-L] Ecstasis and Control

Floyd,

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 
debate but I must tell use that it was almost unanimous that every 
woman (and most men) who replied HATED the analogy. You may 
want to rewrite that section of your website :-). For the debate, 
check the Archives.

Keith, HK
