It's not censorship and I, and just about everyone else on this list, 
have no fear about the SOL interpretation or anything to do with it.
Apart from 4, possibly 5, list members, no-one on this mailing list is 
in the least bit interested in how the SOL relates to any aspect of the 
MoQ. So it is just good manners that Bo (and others) that want to 
interject with comments regarding SOL in a thread that has nothing to do 
with SOL should change the subject heading.

Hi Horse,
If not being "the least bit interested" in how something "relates to any aspect 
of the MOQ"  is the new criteria for what can and cannot be said in adding a 
comment to a thread, then I presume you'll want to know when I and others find 
a comment of no interest so you can ask the writer to change the subject 
heading. Right? Or does the new rule just apply to SOM as the intellectual 
level and not to other criticisms of Pirsig's positions, like the social level 
not being limited to humans and the absurdity of DQ being instrumental in 
evolution?.  

Just wondering. 
Platt
