    Dear All!
    Great job Horse! Just a little reflection on the "topic" bit. It may be the
    only thing that sets the MF apart from the MD, but on the other hand
    it is a restriction and maybe what caused its decline. Don't you (all)
    think it would be possible to let topics develop by themselves - only
    with the "caveat" that it is to be a Pirsig site - no other thinkers or
    systems in the sense of showing how much better they are, but of
    course allowed to point to similarities, underpinning special parts and
    such. I believe such MF would regulate itself and need no moderation
    and that several topics could run simultaneously. These are just stray
    thoughts, any comments?
