better version of Playboy Japan interview with TRP

[Jasper Fidget]

I seem to recall you extrapolating a few opinions into Mr. Pynchon's
mouth yourself re this war (among about a thousand other subjects).

Nobody is arguing a damned thing with Mr. Pynchon--I haven't noticed him
posting anything here--and I wouldn't consider this mailing list "his
site" either (nor waste.org).  I don't consider this a forum for
worship; I don't consider any man or woman worthy of worship (well maybe
Charlize Theron), and I find your idolatry of Pynchon pathetic and
embarrassing.  Exactly what other cults do you belong to anyway?
