Hi John, oh wow ... "community building methodology" is my game. Since most people prefer to "argue" - the macho style of critical debate - my style is in deliberate counterbalance. But my agenda is far more subtle than "please stop arguing boys, or I'll simply have to scream" - if you're reading Matt / DMB.
As a community, one reason to argue is to test - and re-inforce - our love for each other ;-) But we have to do "more than" argue critically. (BTW if you are serious about the "Pirsig Library" idea - Henry Gurr has an on and off project to establish a permanent home for manuscripts and artefacts of various relevance - including talking to people in Bozeman about a possible physical location to house it, as well as on-line access. He's certainly collecting / cataloging the contents.)
