The P in P-List standing, of course, for Preterite. Haven't you heard about the other list, the E-list, where everybody understands what everyone else is trying to say, and the only things said are worth reading by all, and Pynchon himself contributes regularly and without the use of ambiguous language, and much laughter can be heard ringing out from the towers in which each E-list member sits alone? Those of us who have heard of it aspire to be delivered into the secrets of the E-list, to become the Elect, and are polite and patient so that when the E-list eye which occasionally sweeps across our poor gathering of dirty head-scratchers comes to rest upon us, standing straight and with well-scrubbed teeth, the finger might point and we can step up and out of this muddy ring. _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
