I'm sorry to hear you sound so cynical, Paul.

But, you do make me laugh.  And I do hope you find a way to enter the
Pynchon discussion in a positive, constructive way one of these days.

And I do love you, even if I don't know you.  I believe there is something
lovable in each human being. Also, I know people who know you and who have
assured me that you are in fact a warm, decent human being, and I believe
them when they tell me that. I'm tired of the bickering and insults, so I'm
taking a different tack, trying to keep the focus on Pynchon and on a
friendly collegial atmosphere, and I invite you to do the same - or not, as
you wish.  No matter how you choose to respond, I hope you get what makes
you happy.

Cordially,
Doug

Mackin:
The laughter seems pretty forced. And the love.

Laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
Cause I'm so in love with you . . . .
