ian glendinning said to Horse:
I have only one "grievance" here. ...The fact that Ant's site passes for 
authoritative philosophical
material on Pirsig's MoQ,  ...It's Ant's right to do that, it's his site, 
but the public impression is important. ...Ant ...would be better to "clean 
up his act", than leave the misleading impression on his own site.

dmb says:
Wow. This is quite a sight to behold. Its a stunning display of control 
freakiness taken to a whole new level. Now you think you can tell Ant what 
to do with his web site. You've really outdone yourself, and that really 
takes some doing. Its breath-taking! Apparently, unlike a normal person, you 
see no problem with such a thing. Since that's the case, as a matter of 
principle, you shouldn't mind if I tell you what you can do with yours. I 
think you should just shut her down. Or, at the very least, you should 
remove all references to Robert Pirsig and the MOQ. You know, out of a sense 
of duty to the public face of the MOQ, I don't think you should be allowed 
to handle such material. You should only touch the MOQ in the privacy of 
your own home and, for god's sake, please make sure everybody in the room is 
wearing safety glasses. And take it down quickly, before Pirsig's lawyers 
call. Sorry about that. I didn't want to tell on you. It just came up.

Or maybe its your site and my disapproval simply isn't relevant. What do you 
think?
