I certainly didn't suggest OCD though. M. seems to be capable of focussing for long periods of time and then once the plan is finished, he's unattached to the result--however since others are implementing these rather grandiose plans, it's always interesting. And sometimes what you can come up with in your head, however beautifully thought out, might not have any reasonable applicability in the real world. Wasn't it you that said he was from a scribe caste? Is that an authentic comment or just something you are assuming (since he was SBS's personal assistant/scribe)? Danielou had some interesting things to say about this particular varna IIRC. ------------------------ Yahoo!
