I too have noticed the tone of these discussion change dramatically  
as well.  From the beginning, this was a very simple and interesting  
forum for exchanging ideas.  I agree with Linda that the comments of  
many people show an attitude that I could do without.
Some of the grandiose claims that a number of you make just leave  
shaking my head.  Isn't it true that the answer to many issues is  
often "it depends"?  Couldn't your way and another person's way be  
valid at the same time?
At the same time I admit that I made a mistake in labeling Greg's  
method of integrating new dancers as weird. Greg, if you were  
insulted, please accept my apologies.  I don't need to add fuel to  
the fire and I'll be more careful in the future.
Let's view these discussions as great learning opportunities.  They  
shouldn't be bitch sessions, ego builders, opportunities for power  
plays or therapy sessions!!!!!!!!!!!
