Thanks, Mike. The exploration of voice *as* ventrilocation projected within puppets circulating around persons and personas in character are using metaphors of the stage and theater. [all life is a stage] I wonder more about the notion of the types of genres AND tropes within which the persona and masks are actually expressed. I hear more the question of *voicedness* and *multivoicided* expressed within multiple *traditions* [genres, tropes] and it is not merely our personal voices being generated, but the actual *traditions* speaking through us given voices which , are *returning to the conversation. I wonder how often it is NOT the puppets ventriloquating as it is our anscestors speaking? The question *who* is doing the speaking is a deeply complex question. Yes our voices can speak as *intra* voices, they can speak as inner and outer voices, they can speak as outer voices but returning to the discussion of play and playworlds, our are voices also expressed within *worlds* emerging in our conversations. I would like to introduce a notion of*generous* readers and *generous listeners* who in their interactions with interlocutors are also participating with ancestors [and traditions, genres, tropes]. Generous and generativity as reading that OPENS ZONES OR CLEARINGS of *care*. I have been using the *concept* ventriloquation to express the truth that we are all *crows* who steal each others egg words and fill them with our own *meanings* and *sense*[David K's metaphor]. As Mike showed in the etymology of the word *ventriloquation* there are many crows. However these egg words when transformed [translated] are also expressing particular *traditions* within which the newly filled egg word makes sense. Ventriloquintation as an egg word is not making puppets or masks speak. I wonder if it is more constitutive a process that develop how *I* speak. This notion of 1st person, 2nd person, and 3rd person *voice* as constituting new forms of *character formation [and new forms of socioability. I'll pause Larry Status: O
