anudder question...

[Christopher James Tassava]

Gratified by the responses to my last question, I've another:

One of the most interesting and amusing parts of the received corpus of 
Pynchon myth is that he continues to write under various noms de plume.  I 
have heard (undergrad ramblings) that TRP writes as Don Delillo and as 
William Gaddis and I'm sure there's more (witness the current debate over
the pseudo-Pychon letters).  What other, similar rumors have people 
heard, and more importantly, _WHY_ are people so concerned to discover 
Pynchon where (presumably) no Pynchon exists?  Is his relative 
nonprolificity that much of an affront?  Any insights would be greatly 
appreciated...
