I can agree with you that when all is said and done, 'not this, not that'
rules.

[Marsh in response]
It is none of these things, not this, not that..

[Mark carefully interrupting]

Hi  Marsha,



I think you are being misleading by saying it is none of these things.  In
my opinion it is all of these things as proposed by not this, not that.  In
that way I agree with Dan.  It is easy for one to muddy the waters when one
brings in an Eastern philosophy that we do not have a full appreciation of.
 If the intent is to harmonize MOQ with such then, not this, not that has to
be used in a constructive fashion.  By saying it is not this, not that, you
are conveying a description, not denying one.  It is not useful to use such
a statement as a conclusion, it is a positive quality which has its own
properties open for discussion.  The goal would be to add words to describe
such properties.  I know it's difficult, but use different words so the rest
of us can understand what you are proposing.


Thanks,

Mark
