Hiya MoQers,
People will only get recognition for originality. I
get the feeling that the absense of Mr. Pirsig himself
from this forum says something to me about what he
himself thinks about his philosophy. Something on the
lines of "... not worth talking about!", "pissing in
the wind". He probably lurks and still gets royalties,
so why rock the boat ... eh Bob?
Love & respect,
André
