Well Doug,

pretty good job you've done. Yes, keep up the good work. This the kind of
style you would like to see on the P-list too I'm sure.

And, Mr. St Clair, if this is the "investigative journalism" Doug Millison
likes & praises I know now why he's constantly littering the list with non
Pynchon-related posts, opening flame-wars, disturbing group-readings,
misstating & misquoting others etc.

Of course we're all crypto-fascists, holocaust deniers in your opinion. But
as the person Doug continually attacks wrote in one of his last posts to the
list: "'The Establishment' doesn't hold the monopoly on dishonesty and
self-delusion."

You guys still seem to live in the past but that's:

over and out

Otto
