Although, your previous contention that Pynchon (as Tinasky) "went slightly
bonkers" out there seems to suggest that it would be somewhat odd if he were
proved to be the letter-writer. The fact that he sent that disclaimer about
the letters to CNN is surely proof enough, isn't it? Other wise you would
seem to be arguing that Pynchon is *both* a nutcase and a liar.

I find "Wanda's" style and tone churlish and self-indulgent, and thoroughly
unlike Pynchon's. Regardless of Foster's sloppiness, the circumstantial
evidence linking Hawkins to Tinasky is much more persuasive than the
circumstantial evidence which had been contrived to link Pynchon to "her".
