One fucking post and you got me started.  While I am flattered that you
consider me one of "our" favorite authors, and are obviously obsessed
with me, that's OK. Go ahead and  obsess! Follow me around the net, at
least then you'll leave the other list members alone. But, I would like
to know, what are "the same lists" that I and "our favorite off-shore
author" both post to? If you missed any maybe I can fill in the blanks.
Talk about "a Pynchonian paranoid theme!" "Paranoia" oughta be the name
of your autobiography.
