It does nto take much knowledge of science or recent developments in
AIDS research to understand that HIV is clearly implicated as the
cause of AIDS and that this `theory' about toxins is claptrap. If it
was way above your head then your judgements on the matter ought to be
formed by asking people over whose heads it does not go. In the
meantime can you stop polluting a list on Thomas Pynchon with crass
conspiracy theories which belong elsewhere (belong elsewhere not
because they are conspiracy theories but because they are *crass* -
Pynchon's conspiracies are at least inspired).
