    Dear David B.,

    You explained 6 Oct 2003 15:54:13 -0600 why you called me a naughty boy
    because of my e-mail addressed to Pirsig:
    ' You began your letter to Pirsig by demanding that he read posts and then,
    accused him of trading on his celebrity. ... And it takes a huge set of
    rocks too.'

    Pirsig has (by no fault of his) a lot of celebrity for most of the
    participants in this discussion. In my experience celebrity disrupts
    discussions. So I think he'd better EITHER stay out of it completely OR
    participate fully (so that his celebrity would be eroded very fast as he
    would prove himself to be just a fallible human).
    Maybe I should have presented this in a less accusatory way.

    I don't understand what you mean with 'And it takes a huge set of rocks
    too'.

    With friendly greetings,

    Wim
