outta here

[Dave Monroe]

Lemme get this straight.  Several of you dismissed out
of hand even the possibilty that Thomas Pynchon might
have written at least the initial spate of those
Letters of Wanda Tinasky (and, not wanting to reopen
that discussion, I'll merely note that Don Foster's
dissenting attribution of those letters is hardly
ironclad), but you're nonetheless willing to speculate
that virtually everybody and anybody who comes along
here is Doug Millison?  Sheesh ...

Remember, some of the same some of you thought I was
Charles Hollander early on, though, believe me,
Hollander could tell the difference ... and I'll note
here that, whether or not Pynchon had anything to do
with those letters, Hollander's musings on the subject
do include some very astute close observations of
Pynchon's stylistic/syntactic/topical/whatever
idiosyncracies.  Perhaps both Hollander's and Foster's
close attention to such matters should be emulated
here ...
