Interesting to note that Bernard ("Duffy") Duyfhuisen, co-editor of the
estimable *Pynchon Notes*, was one for the As B/4 cheerio tag himself.
(Now, where *is* that Duffy?).

But I suppose any such speculation on multiple and simultaneous list
identities is as far-fetched as, say, identifying Leni Pokler (or, by
extrapolation, some other member of Mr P's cast, let's say Frenesi Gates
for example) with Leni Riefenstahl on the basis of a coincidence of
first names. Isn't it just?  : )

A-and, I wonder where the Clown-Formerly-Known-as-Chuckles has got to of
late. I suppose we should just call it the Beast With Many Heads from
now on, just to be on the safe side.

Just joining in the spirit of things.
