Suggestion

[rwan]

If that's the worst you can anticipate, your faith in mankind in general and
in the Pynchon list in particular is still quite intact.
Wouldn't it be rather pynchonian to generate a self-splitting list: all
words denoting off-topic - or unwanted - concepts would automatically create
their own list or join up with other, existing, lists or newsgroups. Some of
them might, after some roaming around and about, join up with the PL again.
Heute die Welt... but yesterday: "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore".
