Otto:

I'm assuming you know what you wrote to me, Otto -- that's the case, isn't it?
If you've forgotten, I'm happy to share it here.
Otherwise, I'll wait and see how many other P-listers want to read your
offlist email to me before I bore them with it on Pynchon-L.  It's cranky,
but not that interesting.

Same thing I said to Mr T goes for you:

If you'd like a discussion that focuses on Pynchon's work and related
topics, without ad hominem attacks or distortion of one another's posts or
straw man arguments or any of the other lame ways you have of starting or
prolonging an argument, you could start by practicing what you preach.
(And, if you don't think this applies to what you write here, please go
back and study your posts, perhaps with the assistance of an objective,
observer.)

As I said to you the other day, I'll follow your example.  Be polite, I'll
be polite
back.  I'm not afraid of  energetic back-and-forth, either.  But, do as you
like, please.
