Hi Steve, And if you do not agree with Bo, that's okay with me. I see no reason, though, to be so vicious when disagreeing. Bo seems at least playful. And who, but Mr. Pirsig, has the right to write the papal bull, not Andre, and not dmb. And there are different ways of interpreting the MoQ depending on ones point-of-view. As RMP has stated "an explanation can be both false and true". The full quote is below, which I suppose could also have multiple ways to being interpreted.
