Re: V8 conversion comments - per Persig

OK.  I'll admit to righteous indignation when I first heard about this but
I'm settled now.

There is a difference.

If Mr. ZO6 wants to accomplish this forced miscegenation because he simply
has the cahones to do so,  the event becomes trivial on its face.  Its final
resting place ?  A large round place filled with wretched excesses
perpetually "refreshed" by ideas-cum-things that at least one driven
individual thought clever.

As Phaedre said to Persig, Quality is an event.  In the Alfa quadrant of the
galaxy,  this is a non event.

There!
