Oh my! Abject apologies to Liz, Helen, CJ - and anyone else who was

offended.

My *aim* was to be helpful and even a little sympathetic. Yes, there

are two ways to interpret the " tango " phrase, and I've heard both.

Maybe even have used both, one time or another. But - IN CONTEXT - I

thought my INTENDED meaning was clear. Mea culpa.

We're compassionate Aspies here … when you say something that pushes my hot

buttons, I point it out. I expect you to learn that what you said can push

buttons, and let me know that wasn't your intent. Case closed, and we're both a

little wiser.

Which is exactly what happened.
