thanks for your input, but you don't get off that lightly.
quoting Pirsig in a context other than which it was meant , is an all too
common event in this group...
as you know the quote refers to a writer being stuck, it was not meant as a
general guideline for critique!!
Maybe one of the reasons I feel frustrated is the fog index of this groups
discussions is off the scale!!
This may mean I'm missing a lot of what is actually said!!
