Quite agree; let's keep our fights on the list and off the dance floor
(though I don't think fights are really likely about these finer points of
handing etc).

I have no qualms about suggesting alternative ways of performing a figure
(and usually tell my class about discrepencies between written instructions
and unwritten customs), but promise there will be no struggle if we ever
meet on the floor, Bob. I am even quite good at adapting to people who want
to pass Rsh in Mairi's Wedding and haven't knocked anyone down yet.
