Sara and All.<br>God, this is the
misunderstanding of the year, but entirely my fault. The
<br>opening paragraph was meant to be slightly ironic ....we
are supposed to be <br>strictly rational .....is an
exasperation over the hopeless religion/rational <br>impasse
of SOM where the rationalists have had the upper
hand - until <br>Pirsig's MoQ! I couldn't agree more
(with your criticism) had it been my <br>position, but
it isn't. Particularly do I applaud the introduction
of emotions as <br>a major influence (value), if
Marco still listens in he will know our struggle to
<br>have them fixed into the MoQ. I'll say no more
<br>that this affirms the "warning" that what you mean to
say isn't always read <br>that way, but again -
sincere apologies.<br>Bo
