Hello Ron: You wrote:  "My post said I found 3 points "interesting", and listed the three points.  I didn't even link the article on Shared Weight in the first place."    Is it bizarre for readers of this thread to assume you listed the three points because you approved or agreed with them? To answer your questions:Ever hear the phrase, "don't shoot the messenger "?   Yes.  Calling a particular instance of a person's logic bizarre  is not calling a person bizarre.Should Amy be chastised for linking that article here?    NoOf all people, are you the one in a position to chastise about bad behavior on this list?    (a)  Yes  (b) Ever hear the phrase, "don't shoot the messenger "?As an aside, I worked in my previous career on a year-long project with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.   Your alleged appreciation of the global  tragedy of  which the museum serves to remind us  is all the more reason you owe us an apology for associating the tragedy with contra dancing.       Michael Fuerst      802 N Broadway      Urbana IL 61801      217 239 5844
