Jules-L

[Bruce Appelbaum]

A while back, a spate of postings on this list about David Foster Wallace led to
the establishment of the separate wallace-l list on the waste server.

As others here, I'm also tired of all of the back and forth regarding Jules, his
book, his ideas about AIDS, his wife, his girlfriend(s), his memoirs, his life 
in Mexico, his veracity, his insults to and threats of retribution against those
who challenge him, and his past association with TRP.  I'm also tired of those 
who continue to feed into Jules by responding to him, posting here what should 
be private messages.  Myself included.

It's time to set up a separate Jules-L and move all this crap out of here.  Let 
those still interested in Jules
