Thank you for sharing with us your esthetic evalution of Guru
George's question. Now, might you be interested in replying to
it, or do we need to hang more ornaments about the room first
to make this a sufficiently splendid existence for you to
consider?
George's original question (in such dreadful taste) was:

I'm a lot more interested in your answer to this question than
I am in your opinion of it.
And furthermore, I think it's nearly impossible to form useful
judgements of the narrowness of someone's view of life and
human consciousness from reading a few ASCII posts of theirs on
the Internet.
