Apologies accepted.  I just went to the archives [your WWW server --
everything worked just fine] and checked those older posts.  Having seen
what was mentioned re. BB prior to last fall, I'm glad I directed the
"Unknown" to that particular thread, since between the 4-5 of us who piped
up on BB last Oct. we did cover more in those coupla days, including the
references to the movie Pynchon later put in _Vineland_, than could be got
from *all* the comments [combined] that'd been posted in the previous years.
See the work you made me do?  But again, apologies accepted, sincerely.
