Let's see. DQ people are people who "help" others. Where did you get
that idea? I've searched Lila and couldn't find where Pirsig said any such
thing. Can you help me out by citing a quote or two? I ask because
when I think of great DQ people like Rembrandt and Beethoven, I don't
see that "helping others" was their guiding light.
