 RICK RESPONDS TO ROG AND BIDS HIM FAREWELL....

 ROG:

Dan

RICK:
Yes, we did agree that the map isn't the road and that the map is valued by
the degree to which it reflects the road. Part of Pirsig's metaphysical map
is that Quality=Reality. Dan and I are just (sort of) examining the
foundation for that proposition in a further attempt to see how well the map
matches the road. To you, I meant only that while I do think the MoQ is a
valuable map, I remain cautiously non-commited.

Enjoy your disscussion with Marco,
thanks for sharing,
Rick
