I've read a few comments recently about the lack of value of the essays. As
David says "Haven't seen one yet that was worth very much." I find this
extremely disturbing! On one level it is insulting. The essay writing
members of this group have spent long hours thinking and working on those
essays. More time than it takes anyone to read them. To dismiss all that
effort with such a quick aside is a gross injustice!
I have found them all interesting and adding to an understanding of MOQ. I
have read within them many ideas worthy of serious consideration and helping
to resolve the many issues discussed here, over and over again. The reason
why so many issues never get resolved perhaps is directly related to the
lack of effort put out by those who dismiss the essays. The writers of
those essays have spent the time to clarify and crystallize their views.
Something that can not be done in these email responses.
Someone like yourself, who seems to be saying he is not reading those
essays, is wasting all the other people on this discussion groups time! By
not reading those essays you are wasting the time of the harder working
discussion group members who have not only read the essays but have written
them.
In my un-humble opinion if you can't be bothered to read the essays then why
are you even here wasting all our time?
