Hooray. All writers, I don't care how many degrees they have behind their
names, should strive to do what Case does. Indeed, it is hard work. Anybody
can ramble and jive on. It takes discipline to make your meaning clear in as
few words as possible. In fact, I try to remind myself of the adage that if
you can't write your idea on the back of a business card, you haven't got
a good idea. Pirsig certainly can: "Reality is moral. The world is a moral
order." Or, on the back of my card, "I know what I like, therefore I am."

Keep up the good work, Case.
