    First, I want to recommend your new textbook, "An Introduction to
    Robert Pirsig's Metaphysics of Quality" to all in this discussion group
    because they will find it an absolutely brilliant explanation of the
    MOQ in relation to all the major philosophers from Plato right up to
    the moderns. In this book you show how the MOQ solves the "problems"
    that philosophers (and our group) have struggled with since the
    beginning.

    Second, I want to thank you for making it available without charge at
    your website for anyone to download at their convenience.

    Third, I want everyone to know that your work will considered by future
    generations as the catalyst that brought the MOQ into the mainstream of
    knowledge and understanding because more and more educators will now
    become aware of the MOQ as a direct result of your efforts.

    Finally, I extend my heartfelt thanks for your achievement. As I read
    your work, DQ all around me shone through.

    Best regards,
    Platt
