[David Buchanan] It doesn't seem very difficult to be flexible.
We'll let Lila tell us how much time to spend. The spirit of it fits well
with the slow reading method.

[David Buchanan] Gotta disagree. The standards should be higher.
It'll be great fro beginners just because we're sticking so close to the
text and looking at it in order and in context, but I think this third forum
could be, and in my opinion should be, the most focused and advanced one. I
think participants should not only have to have read ZAMM and Lila, but
should also be required to have very recently re-read the section under
discussion. But then again, I was just making a case for flexibility and one
of my favorite sayings is "Incompetence is the mother of originality." So,
whatever.

[David Buchanan] Right.

[David Buchanan] I'll just second Keith's motion. Bring intelligent
quotes from elsewhere if you like, but keep it fresh.

[David Buchanan] I certainly appreciate the spirit of generosity in
this suggestion, but let us NOT accept stupidity. Pirsig's main thing is
quality, rightness and excellence afterall, and we do ourselves a
dis-service in lowering standards or letting pride and ego dictate our
behavior. Its about the MOQ, not self esteem, right?
We're ready. Let's go, let's glow, and let's grow.
