[MD] Dewey, Pirsig Book

[Ant McWatt]

David,

Sorry to hear of the recent difficulties you have had in contacting me.

Unfortunately, for some reason Hotmail (which I tend to use) sometimes has 
difficulties being delivered to AOL accounts.  I had a similar problem with 
a student of mine with an AOL account so unfortunately it must be a general 
fault.  Whether that's with AOL or Hotmail (or both of them) I don't know.  
However, I do know it’s a nuisance especially when it leads to 
misunderstandings!

After sending an e-mail to your AOL account on August 12th which obviously 
did not arrive, I e-mailed your granger at geneseo.edu e-mail account (cc-ed to 
Matt Kundert) on August 15th and unfortunately it looked like that didn’t 
reach you either!  I’m therefore sending this using another e-mail address 
to contact you directly and, just in case, through MOQ Discuss which I’m 
sure Arlo and/or Matt can pass on.

Anyway, as I suggested in my previous e-mails to you, if you send me a Word 
(or html) version of the JAE article, I could then feature it on the 
robertpirsig.org website with the index of your new book and then e-mail MOQ 
Discuss notifying people of the relevant link.  Otherwise, as I suggested, 
just forward the Index to MOQ Discuss as you initially requested.  Just let 
me know either way though I guess Arlo has now covered the latter.

As I also suggested, when the publicity for the re-published LILA has died 
down, I'd be happy to mention your book on the News page of the Pirsig 
website.  Just let me know.  (I have been receiving your e-mails without any 
difficulty.  I’m might not be able to reply to you directly (!) but I’ll cc 
Arlo in just in case).

Very best wishes,

Anthony
