more meta-p

[Doug Millison]

Obviously, quite a few people on Pynchon-L like the idea of discussing
current events, with or without an explicit connection to something Pynchon
has written, apparently understanding how Pynchon's texts embrace so much
of the world in which we live, and sharing Pynchon's political critical
stance .  Equally obvious, a small handful of people, when they aren't
engaging in the same thing themselves, appear to want to stop others from
engaging in this sort of conversation -- funny behavior in this free
marketplace of ideas; I guess they feel if they can't get others to agree
maybe they can make them stop talking. Of course this happens everywhere on
the Internet.
