This is a topic that is very close to my heart. It really depends on the audience... it is part of the "performance art" to try to gauge how much information the audience needs. It is easy to fall into the extremes by providing too much or too little information. Providing information as a form of entertainment is an interesting concept that may not be universally appealing. But forums such as this and the World Wide Web _may_ be changing the way people view the sharing of information by finding it more entertaining.
