Check out the sensibility and rhythm of this list before you start
trying to dictate how we should communicate on it. If you don't like
it, don't let the closing windows catch your butt on the way out. 

Start your own list some place: The REAL Pynchon List, where the list
gestapo will ensure that messages that aren't certified "P-related"
(prelated? pre-elated?) are forbidden. It never fails that the geeks
most concerned with "bandwidth" waste by going on and on on the
subject. Over and

over
