Hi Nic, in response to what you said on MOQ:

I try to look at quality as having a purpose; that
purpose grades a level of quality and is also
determined by a subjective quality. For an example if
I was camping in the woods and I needed a fire because
daylight was fading. I need a fire for warmth
(quality) and light (quality). When I look for wood
I'm going to want dry twigs, medium sticks, and logs
that are dry and dead because that is what the
particular purpose of the wood that I am seeking
requires(quality). If I wanted a tree to make a canoe
out of it then I would look for other qualities; the
definition of a perfect tree for the purpose would
change. Thoughts?
