pynchon's list

[David Morris]

I thank you for this post, kai.

I'm trying to refrain from Doug-drubbing, really.  Although I've prophesied 
Doug's inheritance of this list, I've learned to care less.  Moving on is 
transcendance.

But as your own post here testifies, this is a forum, voices speak and 
advocate.  Yes, the Doug-game is easy, and unworthy, but once in a while 
drubbing is unavoidable, the only choice.

My delete key is my route to transcendance.  Doug-drubbing is only junk 
food.
