[MD] extricating MOQ from SOM

[Ron Kulp]

Dear MOQers,
I wanted to say that I have had an enjoyable first week with you all. I
have been a great admirer of Mr. Pirsigs work for quite some time.
Reading ZMM mostly by a fluke 15 years ago changed my life, I had been
coming at quality from the mystic side before that, trying to Connect it
with mathmatics,Thought I was onto something unique, Bob had already
been through it from the other side, it was like trying to draw a map of
your county then Someone slaps down an ADC road atlas in front of
you..it excited the hell outta me..I have worked on engines with my dad
as a boy And knew "gumption traps" first hand, I also own a motorcycle
and related to Pirsigs paralell story line, I have also lost As Pirsig
did when he lost Chris...I have read Lila but, ZMM will allways hold a
special place with me. I am married And have two daughters, I'm a former
freelance illustrator currently making a living in civil engineering. I
have read David Hume, Descarte and most religious literary works. I am
in the process of reading Joseph Campbell's "symbols and Myth".
Before finding the MOQ, electro shock therapy was beginning to sound
pretty good.
Turn ons: long walks on the beach
Turn offs: people who frown.

Skoal, thanks for being here
