[MD] X = no-self

[MarshaV]

Ian,

I have no legitimate answers to Dan's questions.  The questions don't make 
sense to me.  Would it be best to try to answer as best I can and 
receive the complaints you've suggested, or to ignore the post altogether.  
Was "Why do I need a metaphysics?" a legitimate question in a forum 
setup to discuss the Metaphysics of Quality?  -  If I answer all the posts, I've
submitted too many posts per day.  If I don't answer, there are complaints 
about that too.
