    Hi Paul

    Thank you for sharing the letter from Robert Pirsig. If a person insists on
    defining the intellectual level, I don't see a problem with his definition
    in LC, so, I saw no reason to bother (not that you were bothering him, mind
    you) the man further with it. He'd taken so much of his time with Lila's
    Child already. Like he says, we already know what the intellectual level is.
    Since he writes that he remembers being annoyed, I'm even more pleased that
    I didn't bother him with it!

    Dan

    PS I always find it so thrilling to receive a letter from Mr. Pirsig and I
    bet you do too. Very neat. Thanks again for sharing.
