http://www.wired.com/news/topstories/0,1287,3431,00.html Type Pynchon-L into a search engine an this is what you get. http://www.wired.com/news/topstories/0,1287,3431,00.html A flame war worthy of a book? Blame me if you like but I wasn't around. But after two or three posts I figured it out. It's all mostly flames and bait and junk. I asked the list to stop. I pleaded with memebers to show some respect for Pynchon's work, for others.....What a waste. Can anyone say what it is I'm talking about in these posts about the wind and words? Is it the List? Is is this List only a distraction you can ignore if you want to read something about Pynchon? I've got to make the effort and so do you. Don't get it? Just ask. I'm not all over the road politically, but I'm as interested in winning the fight as Doug or Jbore or Wever or the other political hacks here to warp my reading of a fiction to make the other guy look like a fascist or an apologist for slavery or some other such nonense. Jbore is a fairly good reader of Pynchon, but he rarely says anything worth reading. His posts are mostly summation or cliff note like analysis or warped by his desperate and sad spitting on Doug's dead horses.
