I'm with you 100% on that, and it's how I like to read and write.
Unfortunately, it's not always up to the writers, esp newbie ones with no publishing clout. I was asked to do a fair amount of expositiony type stuff by my editor, and although I tried to slip it in as seamlessly as possible it *is* still there.
Not saying that what she asked for was bad, just that it was more than I would have chosen to include.
