[MD] MOQ, Beginings and Future: A Tribute

[Ian Glendinning]

Blimey Platt,

That Wordsworth quote from Tables Turn'd is much quoted by me and even
I think in my "manifesto". Next time Bo interferes with his logic in
attempting to achieve some closed definition of MoQ and/or Intellect,
you will remember to quote it back at him ?

Hear hear.
Let's not cage the living MoQ in an ivory tower of logic, sliced and
diced with the analytic knife, please.
Regards
Ian
