This post on tango etiquette is a permanent page -- always the first article listed on the right margin at the new address.
Please visit me there. All the content from Tango-Beat is still there, but in deference to a company with a similar name (Tangobeat.com), I have changed the name of my blog. Please visit them too -- a great resource but with a very different mission.
-- Thanks!
