SA:  Yes.  Dwai, I agree.  And it is a problem with this board, not the moq which discusses a code of art and dynamic quality.  Also, the other levels too.  Why it is a problem here on this board, is due to, probably, the same people discuss on this forum over and over and most have entrenched themselves in a certain way of thinking and others think they can convince them otherwise.  Bo's never gonna get it, neither Ham, yet, many like problems, without any problems or Bo's or Ham's for some people on this forum, they wouldn't know what to say.  They like to debate even though, we all know, the debate will not go anywhere with Bo, Ham, and other's.  Bo and Ham like to discuss only their points of view.  Look at me, I talk about the woods, and my perspective leans towards ridding a prolonged intellectual discussion that forgets that there is a world here that isn't only intellectual.  So, I've got my limits surely too.  Yes, as some say, the moq is a good
 concept, a good intellectual pattern, but I don't live only in my mind.  The mind is a very tiny slug part of this whole shabang.  The mind is important and significant, but to regress into thought contraptions without experiencing life is dangerous.  Yet again, this is a forum in which the effort is to discuss intellectually and I have no idea what people that discuss here do outside the forum.  Is the main effort of people to experience life or to only come up with thoughts I would say the latter leads to beating a dead horse.
    I also find what I said here above to be an intellectual exercise.  It is thoughtful and points out activites of the mind and this effort I have in life.
