pynchon-l-digest V2 #1394

[Stacy Borah]

Yeah, I know all about the Delete button, Frodeaux.  But, it's also hard to 
sit here and delete 65 messages a day, esp. with the slow modem I have and 
also hoping every time that there is something worth reading within each 
email, rather than just more sniping and arguing over what's the best way to 
read a Text/Texts/Context/Contest of Wills.  And, don't get me wrong: I will 
engage in a flame war.  I may have a girl's name, but I still punch like a 
man.

And, only a Southerner would say something like "That's why God made the 
delete option" when everybody knows Bill Gates is God.  Before you get all 
offended at the Southerner jab, I am a Southerner, born and bred, as the 
rednecks say, but not by the grace of God.  I am agnostic, but not 
anti-religious.  Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but, Frodeaux, don't 
add to the already-overloaded sniping on this list.  Your reply is clearly 
loaded with sarcasm and baited condescension.  Which is exactly how someone 
shaded with Internet anonymity strikes out at others by whom he feels 
threatened.  Pardon me for wanting to keep something pure, something 
intellectual, on a mature keel.  I don't know what your problem is, but I'll 
bet it's hard to pronounce.

Stacy
