Greetings Krimel,

Thank you for finding the reference.  I remember you stating that too 
much has been said about DQ.  Is that true with the exception of your 
definitions?  Quality, Dynamic Quality, the Way, NoThingness, 
Emptiness.  All are names for something that cannot be conceptionally 
known.  Do you disagree?
