...or the Holocaust denials of our Australian Deconstructor.  I know 
that they can speak for themselves, but I'll suggest all the same 
that RJ's flame bait represents an outrageous distortion of the 
humanizing sentiments that Terrance and Jody have consistently 
expressed on Pynchon-L (long before TrollRJ ever showed up), 
especially in the light of RJ's consistent efforts here on Pynchon-L 
to minimize or deny Pynchon's depiction of the Holocaust in GR. I 
guess that's one way to make waves and get a leg up out of that 
student ghetto and into the real world of Pynchon studies.

P.S. Sorry about that offlist post.
