TRP=Unabomber?

I just finished reading the article, and tend to think that it is
meant as a parody. I don't know, call me crazy, but maybe the fact
that it says "Parody" on top has something to do with it.... In any
case, those interested enough could simply ask the author. Maybe,
who knows, he even picked up the idea on this list. ("Who Pynchon?")
I initiated a short discussion on the subject - meant to be not _quite_
serious, sometime last year (October or November). The quote I used
was the following:
Next time you come across a logging operation out
here, find one of their tractors that isn't being
guarded, and take its oil filter with you. That's
what you can do (GR, 553).
I suppose the question whether TRP harbors Luddite tendencies, or can
be _read_ (misread?) in such a manner, is a different, slightly more legitimate
one.
