<DIV><SPAN class=637341411-14042006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>In
it's context (background entertainment noise for list fields and such) it still
holds true. If a storyteller tells a story, they're doing it
(theoretically) for an audience to listen to (unless it's practice, in which
case, we're not nutters yet). </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

you're saying that storytellers can provide background entertainment for people
to talk over, I'd disagree (Okay, technically, the "audience" COULD talk over
the storyteller, but most probably wouldn't).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=637341411-14042006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

stories to waft gently through the air and provide ambiance? Having
watched you perform, your grace, I know that you CREATE an ambience, and your
storytelling is such that people are drawn into the story. Fine things,
but not the same thing as I was alluding to.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P>Who wrote the "storytellers can't just do that" note? I am a storyteller and
I often just do it. I am sure some people comment on my mental health, but a lot
of people have commented that they like it.</P>
