    Bravo DMB!!! I loved ZMM and LILA because Mr. Pirsig explained philosophy
    to me. And Mr. Pirsig explained MOQ to me. He didn't write his
    understandings, discoveries and philosophy to the few "professional"
    philosopher in the upper levels of the "academic institution". He wrote for
    human beings. Matt seems lost in his own rhetoric. I appreciate you,
    David, for trying to untangle the language.

    My apology to Matt because, while I've had a number of philosophy classes,
    I'm not a philosopher. I don't really understand most of Matt's
    postings. But when he says he want to make MOQ better, I have a good laugh.
