I'm intrigued by your choice of terminology "driven away".  Also what you
mean by "people", because it was right in the middle of a heating debate
with myself that dave "walked away", which would imply you're talking about
me, bucko.

Better watch it.  I'll drive you away too.  In fact, I'll drive you ALL
away.  I'll be here all by myself. FREE!  Free to express myself and come up
with my own metaphysics... and be rid of all you loathesome, evil, academic
overloards.

Motivated by something other than understanding the MoQ.... that I really
don't get.  Like what? talk about yer nebulous accusation...

Arlo, I firmly believe you are very wrong about some fundamental things.  I
don't think you understand your dog's feelings, I don't think you appreciate
the value of an educational voucher system, and I think your guessing about
a Pirsig-McWatt-Buchanan dialogue is SO far off the mark its laughable.   I
can't explain precisely what makes me feel this way, it's more instinct and
the sound of a koan echoing in mine and dave's ears... how loud are two
hands not clapping?

Pretty loud, sometimes.
