    Hi Ian

    I would like to muddle this a bit, a matter of taste to some extent.
    For me talking about DQ cannot avoid using much of the same
    language/ideas that have been used to talk about god. And a feeling
    of awe towards DQ seems perfectly justified. But there is a lot of
    very bad god talk that I would like to see kept well away from discussions
    of DQ. How does that feel?
