I agree, Platt. Such name-calling is completely inappropriate. I've 
always valued our discussions, and you've written some beautiful things 
about the MOQ. I've often though that without you keeping the 
discussion going and focused on Pirsig's actual words and giving many 
of us someone intelligent to disagree with, that this forum would have 
degenerated into wooly-headed New Age nonsense long ago.

Best,
Steve
