I find it more metaphysically plausible to personally experience the primary
source of the MOQ everyday, namely Quality, than to accept as plausible a
primary source that is derived from logic's necessity to posit nothing for
there to be something, just as it is necessary to posit darkness for there
to be light, or one for there to be many. 

But, since life really comes down to "I know what I like" and "That works for
me" there's no point in arguing which of the two metaphysics is better. In this
case, what works for me is the MOQ, but I like and admire the depth and breadth
of your intellect which makes your posts especially pleasurable to read.

Best,
Platt
