Hi Allen,

No. I've always found Bo's contributions of high value.

Ant's thesis is a great contribution to MOQ literature. But to me it's
more of a brilliant academic review off Pirsig's philosophy rather than a
presentation of something new. This is not meant to detract from his work
in any way, and I wish I could be present to applaud and congratulate him
in person as he formally receives his doctorate in July .

Indeed I do.

I look forward to any thoughts you may have that "improve" the MOQ.
Best,
