Rasheed:
Can you give us a reference in ZAMM or Lila where Pirsig says all this?
Or is this your personal interpretation? If you're going to claim that such
and such is "the MOQ's position," you better be able to back it up with
the author's words.

Incidentally, your posts are hard to read because you omit capital
letters. One has to work to determine where one sentence ends and
another begins, and proper names are not easily identified. This puts
an extra and unnecessary burden on the reader. Is there a reason for
your writing style?
