pynchon-l-digest V2 #2204

[Musashi Miyamoto]

I've searched the archives:

slothrop666 isn't a big jbor or david morris fan, but then again, that may
not be an uncommon trait. The style isn't anything like Doug's; the content
may overlap, but Doug takes slothrop666 to task on at least one occasion. Of
course that could just be Doug being tricky. Is then when I finally get to
use Occam's razor?

An excellent example of previous list sleuthing by FQ:

That has to be one of the smartest things you've ever said, throwing people
off the track that way, when all the time, YOU seem to be much more like
Slothrop666. I never changed accounts, by the way, just aliases. Sure
someone smart enough to argue between his two alter egos would appreciate
the difference.
