    Hi Folks

    The results of the Call for Votes (Re-Vote) for February 2005 are shown below.

    This month's topic is:

    1) "In the MOQ feeling corresponds to biological quality." (Pirsig in the
    Copleston annotations).
    I'd like to suggest we spend a bit of time trying to work out what "feeling"
    is, as referred to here, whether it's the same as "sensation" or "emotion",
    and if so, whether this analysis stands up to scrutiny in the light of
    contemporary understandings in the philosophy of mind and neuroscience.

    MOQ FOCUS RULES, REMEDIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

    1) Members must have read both ZEN AND THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE
    MAINTENANCE and LILA.

    2) LILA'S CHILD by Dan Glover with annotations by Robert Pirsig is also
    *highly* recommended.

    3) Members may post only two messages per week (except for topic-question
    suggestions, voting, and Opinions).

    4) Every post must be relevant to the topic-question.

    5) Members must express themselves clearly, concisely and courteously.

    6) Members may not use html email nor send attachments.

    7) Although there is no strict word-limit on posts, members are asked to try
    and keep posts to a reasonable length.

    8) The MF moderator reserves the right to block any posts which break these
    rules.

    9) If a member believes his or her post has been unjustly blocked by the
    moderator, the moderator's decision may be appealed one time to the full
    Steering
    Committee. The decision of the Steering Committee is final.

    10) Posts which are blocked from MF by the moderator should not be posted to
    MD without the express permission of the moderator or the Steering
    Committee. Reposting
    to MD in the absence of such permission could result in action from the
    Discussion Facilitators ranging from a gentle warning and reminder of the
    forum rulesto permanent removal from one or both lists.

    11) (a) "Topic-Hijacking" - Because experience has taught us that allowing
    the MF topics to spill over into MD quickly kills the activity on the MF
    list, the Steering Committee respectfully requests that members do not carry
    MF topics into the MD forum until the MF discussion of the topic is
    officially over.
    (b) "Suggestion-Hijacking" - Similarly, it is respectfully requested that
    members do not initiate discussions in the MD based on topic-suggestions
    offered in the MF by othermembers, which have not yet been voted upon,
    without first securing the permission of the member who made the suggestion.
