Hi Jan Anders, Thank you for the good wishes. I was trapped in something dangerous 30 years ago, just like Pirsig was. I have tried to explain that many times. I know of what I speak, and if you need confirmation just read my posts starting several years ago. You will need to adjust your thinking a little. I am not worried about MOQ and am simply expressing an opinion. If this seems to stir up the complacency surrounding Quality that seems to have taken hold, then perhaps this is a good thing. I am not in this for fame or recognition or any leadership role. It is what I am.
Please do not read my posts if they bother you. They are simply little ripples on a vast pond. If you choose to interact, and my posts do bother you, I suggest you not take this all so seriously. This is simply a discussion held in good faith. I speak of Quality and have helped many people understand it through casual discussions over coffee. I search this forum for ideas, and do my best to provide mine. If I were simply trying to make you happy, then I suppose I would post in a different way. MOQ is not fragile, it has just begun. Who knows where it will be in 100 years, but it will certainly not be where it is now. Enjoy the ride and don't worry so much. Believe in Quality for it is very real. It is an alternative to what you know. It is not just some game of cleverness.
