Don't bother Terrance. It serves no purpose, as most of the rest of us have
found out at one point or another.

The "alternative news" that Doug floods the list with is just a bunch of
opinions, as he admitted. This is, as Don Corathers noted, pamphleteering,
not journalism. And it's easy enough. (SON: "Look Mum, I cut and posted an
Op. Ed. article and sent it to the pynchon-list. I'm a journ-y-list now."
PROUD MOTHER: "That's my boy.")

As someone's old pappy used to say: 'Opinions are like assholes, everyone's
got one.' My question is, what's holding Doug together?
