[MD] The Intellectual Gauntlet II !

[david buchanan]

Mati:

I have just one question for you at this point. Assuming you gave Pirsig's answers, why did they object? I mean, there are quotes in Lila that address everything here except the Estonian specifics and I'm puzzled as to why that wasn't acceptable.

Thanks,
