Apocalypse: "Not for Sale in Canada"

[Dave Monroe]

And THAT is to establish ...?  But do recall that "all along" for me is maybe a
couple of months, do keep in mind that people might just be tuning in here.  Do
keep in mind that not everything I post is in some way contesting you.  Do keep in
mind that one could keep expanding that "actual context" at LEAST to the covers of
the novel itself, and then some (language, literature, English, the novel, and so
forth, to name some obvious ones).   That con/text thing, there's always some
reason for--or, at any rate, there are always effects of--drawing that line, for
drawing it where, and when, and how its drawn ... so, please, do specify, show
your work, whatever, esp. as I don't recall Slothrop coming up all that much of
late (i.e., in those past couple of months, in your posts on the novel) ...
