Yes I would, and thanks. By the way, are you knowledgeable about carbon? I saw on TV tonight a documentary about nanotubes made of carbon that promise to produce composites ten times the strength of steel or more. The show appeared coincidentally because this morning I spent some time at a jewelery store looking at diamond baguettes which I believe are carbon. (My wife wants an addition to her engagement ring for our upcoming anniversary.) Then I was reminded that Pirsig talked about the characteristics of carbon that made it especially suited to create new forms. Finally carbon coal is a source of energy. Seems that if any material could be classified as especially susceptible to the vagaries of chance and probability it would be carbon. Haven't I read somewhere that it's also the basis of life? I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have on the subject although what it has to do with philosophy is a stretch other than Pirsig seems to attribute to it magical qualities. After looking at (and pricing) diamonds, I can say carbon can have very high value. ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
