Ian, I have no legitimate answers to Dan's questions. The questions don't make sense to me. Would it be best to try to answer as best I can and receive the complaints you've suggested, or to ignore the post altogether. Was "Why do I need a metaphysics?" a legitimate question in a forum setup to discuss the Metaphysics of Quality? - If I answer all the posts, I've submitted too many posts per day. If I don't answer, there are complaints about that too.
