    Hi Ham,

    Wow. This is the first time I've ever met a real live metaphysician, let
    alone one so clear on his mission statement, that gave up so easily in the
    evangelical mission that is attached to metaphysical speculation: convincing
    everyone else that what he does is important and needed. Consider me
    stunned.

    I'll tell you though, despite the fact that I also consider the twin cardiac
    chambers of modern philosophy to be epistemology and ontology (or
    metaphysics), which is why they should be shunned, I also don't participate
    much in the political discussions that go on around here. Just doesn't
    interest me that much. Pragmatists suggest that we move on to more fruitful
    discussions, but part of our evangelical mission is trying to convince the
    metaphysicians that the jig is up, modern philosophy is over.

    So, yeah, good chatting with you. This is the first time I've been let off
    the hook so easily. Thanks.

    Matt
