[MD] Changes in 2011

Actually, this forum does have a purpose - whether you see that purpose 
or not.
The purpose of this forum is to discuss the MoQ as proposed by Robert 
Pirsig - that's why it's called moq_discuss or MD for short!
DMB and Dan and Anthony and Arlo and Magnus and Andre and various other 
people understand this and so do a number of others that post here. 
Unfortunately there are a whole bunch of others who haven't quite gotten 
their heads around this yet and assume that it's just an open forum to 
discuss everything and anything - cos that's what Quality is.

WRONG!!!!

I provide this facility so that folks who are interested in RMP's MoQ, 
as proposed in ZMM, Lila, Lila's Child etc., have somewhere to discuss 
what they have read in these books.
And to be honest my patience is now wearing very thin as it seems that 
the last thing that certain folks (sorry Ian, I know you don't like this 
sort of phrase but those folks know who I mean) wish to discuss is RMP's 
MoQ.
I have been really patient for years and, unfortunately,  allowed this 
forum to become more social than intellectual, but, as per the subject 
line, this is going to change in 2011.
So either the folks that aren't discussing RMP's MoQ sort themselves out 
extremely quickly or there will be several less members on MD in the 
very near future.

I hope I am making myself abundantly clear.

Oh, and by the way if anyone else feels like taking the piss, you're 
gonna be history even sooner!
