Hi Carl,

Yes, I have seriously considered that Mark adopt's such a view, but it _his_ 
view using _his_  lens and _his_ rhetoric (_his analogy_).  And _his_ judging 
others.  I need not accept or reject _his_ need for 'truth' or 'meaning'.  Nor 
do I need to accept plural, provisional, pragmatic static patterns of value as 
_being_ mainstream American Pragmatism.  It could be interesting to 
enthusiastically explore, compare and contrast, but not see the MoQ trapped 
there.
