Steve: Who is Caryl Johnstone? Why is her not being able to see pragmatism proof that DMB is wrong? Why is she not defending her claim? I have heard of her Blog and I invited her to discuss Pirsig with us at moq.org. Apparently she prefers to publish her thoughts and allow for "comments" than participate in rational discourse. Certain people's preferences to maintain a blog instead of having a real discussion seems narcissistic to me. Come to think of it, why aren't more of you guys doing it?
