    Please don't take Sqounk's verbal crappage as an
    example of English wit. As a fellow Englander, I
    would hate for such wit to be associated with his
    semi-coherent, pretentious, semi-relevant ranting. He
    is clearly a philosophy undergraduate at Oxford
    Brookes or such place, with too much time on his
    hands. I think the work of Pirsig is naturally
    revelatory and empowers the reader, and in Squonk's
    case this process seems to have made him get above
    himself, such that he thinks he is some sort of genius
    who we are all honoured to be able to learn from. His
    disinterest in even making his posts grammatically
    scan shows his contribution to be little more than
    unworthy intellectual posturing, and I for one have
    long lost interest in what he wants to say.

    Matt
