Welcome to pynchon

Sorry for the form-letterish quality of this, but it is the closest
thing to a mass-joining I have had in a while. Saaayyyyy, you folks
haven't been emmulating the stereotypical group behaviour
tendencies of Ludiwig's little pet have you?

Anyhow......



Welcome aboard, gee, it's a fabulous or-gy
That you just dropped in on, my friend--
We can't recall just how it start-ted,
But there's only one way it can end!
The behaviour is bestial, hardly Marie-Celestial,
But you'll fit right in with the crowd,
If you jettison all of those prob-lems,
And keep it hysterically loud!

You are on the PYNCHON list.   Please send me a
message at my individual address (gilbert at sfu.ca) to 
verify that things are getting to you from here.

As far as I'm concerned, pretty much any Pynchon-
related topic is OK on this list, from Pynchon apocrypha
through light discussion of our favourite passages, to
litcrit as heavy as you want.


This list is active in fits and starts, so do not despair if
if you do not hear much from it.  Better yet, start a discussion.

Enjoy.
