Plist Ethos (was TIMES article)

I don't know how any of that relates to this list.  As far as I remember
from something posted here a couple of weeks ago, Pynchon's PR people set up
the whole series of things you mention here.  With Pynchon's blessing, to
boot.  Eric did say that he feels he and some other people may have,
inadvertently, helped the Times journalist track Pynchon down.  Unless Eric
et al. know Jackson Pynchon's school address and were willing to give it to
the press, I don't see how that paparazzi episode could possibly implicate
anyone on this list.  

Am I being too dense?
