So true...sometimes appropriately, though.

Originally, looking to 'road test' some notions for
something I was/am writing. Figured to find some
well versed MoQ brains on the list...
Now, developmental thought towards a deeper
understanding.

mel:
With Gigapeople on earth the membership
of this list is merely dozen-ish (1 or 2, 3?), so
there are not that many who feel the need to
be here in the first place and few that I've
encountered outside who 'get' MoQ, even
having read ZMM/Lila.
I know 2 women who appreciate Pirsig, but
both are too busy to engage...teachers.
But a more diverse discussion may be a
more interesting/informative one.
thanks--mel
