Bo,

I realize this is a problem for you...

What I can't quite get is why it's a problem.

Obviously the highest quality metaphysical stance we can achieve is a GOOD
goal, and obviously we're going to approach it relatively closer, the better
our method is, and part of that method has to include what it is we're
striving for.

It all seems so simple and proper to me.  I just don't get why it bugs you.

Yeah.  We all get it.  What we don't get is why it gives you gas.  Maybe
it's the artistic struggle to finish the painting, to know when to stop.   I
know for Lu, that's always the hardest part, to simply lay down the brushes
and say "it is finished".

That's where I come in handy.  "Stop messin' with it!  It's done."
