Speak for yourself, dood.  I'm here to talk about Pynchon, which is one 
reason I get bad tempered when someone suddenly wants to have a Paglia 
Party in response to the mere presence of a feminist perspective in the 
discussion.

If *you're* just here to spout monologues, maybeso you should take 
yourself to a radio station, eh?

Cheers,
