| When I sent a set of instructions to the list 3 months ago, reactions fell
| into three categories:
| "that sounds like an interesting dance -- we'll try it/have tried it";
| "not bad, but it would be better if ...";
| "what's this idiot telling us about his insomnia for?"
| 
| Perhaps in order not to bore those in the last group, it would be a good
| idea to create another mailing list (shall we call it "rant"?) to promote
| discussion about  new dances and figures, how they could be made more
| interesting/ more suitable to the Scottish tradition, about the reactions
| of members of classes/clubs where the dances were tried out, about why the
| new dance was liked/not liked, about what difficulties cropped up in the
| teaching.

Hmmm ... I was under the impression that this was what the strathspey
list was for.  Was I wrong?
