On this Day, everyday

Henry, the fact that others on the list might be able to ignore your
daily updates is not a good enough substitute for thinking about whether
they're relevant to the list - please judge whether to post them on the
list everyday based on their own merits and relevance to the list.

Now, on the subject of whether it's particularly exciting to have a bit
of selected and condensed Reader's Digest History on the list everyday,
if someone is taking a vote, I have to vote No (unless the items have
some kind of a general connection to Our Obsession - I know, you're
going to say what doesn't?).  If you're going to forward some list you
get from some other list everyday, you might as well subscribe pynchon-l
to that list and be done with it. There are a lot of fine mailing lists
out there that we all might be interested in, but there is a reason why
they're all not just one big mailing list. Posting a pointer to them
should give us enough to go on.

IMHO and look, no hamsters in _my_ pants!
