May this be some sort of a record for revival?

The very first Usenet post was a fervent denunciation of cilantro, and even now, someone is preparing a devastating response.

Yes, but have there been interim responses?

This thread was 18+ years of nothing.😃

I love Salsa. There’s a great show every Saturday and Sunday, on KXLU (88.9) out of Loyola Marymount called Alma del Barrio - [“the grandaddy of all latin programs in Los Angeles”](http://kxlu.com/alma-del-barrio/). They also play some Merengue, Cumbia, occasionally some Mambo; it’s Afro-Cuban heavy.

I _didn’t mind_ Salsa. The Victoria Salsa ('94 - '06) of the BC Hockey League, that is, but damn the Victoria Salmon Kings ('04 - '18) of the East Coast Hockey League - ok, now _there’s_ a team name.
