    Hi all

    Perhaps we should focus on a propostion about
    Pirsig/MOQ that is put up for agreement/disagreement
    rather than a topic?

    regards

    > I once called it the difference between doing biography with Pirsig (which
    would be the MF) and philosophy with Pirsig (which would be the MD). Not a
    bad idea, but I still think the new set-up Horse has got is a pretty good
    idea. Basically we'd all be able to concentrate on one specfic issue of how
    Pirsig interprets himself at a time and we'd get a consensus and a dissent
    (just like the Supreme Court) and a summary at the end. Particularly the
    summary at the end with, if I remember correctly, a chance for people to
    make last statements at the end. That would make a good resource for people
    like myself who tend to write essays.
