A substantial group reading of V.

[MalignD at aol.com]

Much bombast, then--

<<Yes, I know that one of you trolls finds the sort of annotations that were 
offered during MDMD and VLVL pedantic or pedestrian or otherwise (I forget 
the 
precise wording of that particular piece of flame bait) not worth your time 
-- Malign was vocal in that regard but then we know from when he first 
started posting to Pynchon-L under that other name that he hated M&D, and I 
also recall that Malign was the only one to offer such a criticism at the 
time ...>>

Minor corrections and response:  

The annotations offered by one PPetto were quite silly and fair game.  (E.g., 
New York:  a city in New York).  I compared them to the writings of one 
Charles Kinbote, a reference to Pale Fire, that most have upset the Millison, 
this being the P-list and all.

When I first started posting to the list, M&D was not yet out.

I've never posted here under another name.  I've never had any idea who 
Millison thinks I am or what that other name is.

Finally, I don't believe I'm the only person here to find fault with M&D.  If 
so, so what and only more to the previous point.  And I never said I hated 
it.  It disappoints.

This is all trivial, but a response to faleshoods, worth correcting.
