Taiwan of course is a rather condensed geographic location which at one time had hundreds of puppet companies competing against one another. Puppeteers would frequently have spats and arguments but they would not vent their spleen in conversation but in a puppet show. I wonder if we could challenge everyone on the list that if they have something provocative (or rude or insulting) that they want to say to someone on the list, they should create a short piece, film it and post it to us all watch. That way we can have our petty disagreemnts but they would always be related to puppetry. Instead of trading obnoxious baiting and petty insults, let's encourage eachother to deveolp some chops. There is no way we can stop being petty but at least we could be creative about it. - Gregory _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-lists.driftline.org Admin interface: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/puptcrit-driftline.org Archives: http://www.driftline.org
