There is nothing wrong with being pragmatic and not wanting to 
a part of the Pragmatism movement.  And I have stated many times 
before that Buddhism adheres to a radical form of empiricism and is 
extremely pragmatic.  And other than as a historical note, I'm not much 
interested in W. James.  Deal with it.  Or not.  Dmb's preference has 
little influence on me, and there is a relationship between the MoQ 
and Buddhism which is the connection I prefer to pursue.
