also seem to support this war.  Only, on Pynchon-L so many of them tend to 
show up under goofy names like Pantychrist, Olio, Fester, Dingleberry, etc. 
ad nauseum, spouting virtually the same arguments offered by 
rj/rjackson/jbor/?, "Morris", Mackin, Quail, Terrance (and only God knows 
how many anonymous email accounts he has created), Malign, and Otto.  Looks 
funny to me, and you offer no evidence that they aren't your own alter egos 
or creations of the members of your dogpack -- no evidence that I've seen, 
at least.   But maybe they are real people who choose to post anonymously--I 
couldn't care less who they are, I still disagree with them about this
war."

Hi, Nathan Thurm here (aka pantychrist, Woody Tobias Jr., Dan Jizzenberry, 
and Carlton Fist--all under the same e-mail account, I assure you). I just 
want to point out that I in no way support this war in Afghanistan. Never 
have, never will. And, if you were paying attention to the p-list in the 
last month and a half, you'd notice that I've engaged in a number of 
bru-ha-has (although none recently) with David Morris, Terrance, The Great 
Quail, Jasper Fidget, and (I think) Jbor on this very issue . The only thing 
we agree upon is the fact that you're clinically insane. This is a good way 
to desribe someone who can't differentiate between friends and enemies, no? 
Hell, you even helped substantiate my 
'soldiers-in-Vietnam-were-predominantly-working-class-whites and blacks' 
argument? God, those were the good old days. Were we ever so young?
