The situation on pynchon-l

[Paul Mackin]

Since Murthy asked for comments, here are mine.

My advice is to just relax and let the current "crisis" play itself out. 
If a certain p-lister (no need to mention names) is so intent on 
remaining the object of attention even at the cost of making an ever 
greater ass of himself, why should anyone try to stop him. For one 
thing, the only way to stop him would be to disband the p-list, an 
action I feel pretty sure must have entered Murthy's mind a time or two.

The warnings Doug issued (I think I'm right here) weren't to the p-list 
or its owners but to Terrance. and the bill of complaints concerned 
mainly  stuff that is allegedly supposed to have happened off list. It 
was all very nutty of course. Wonder if the family lawyer warned about 
the danger of issuing warnings and of the existence of frivolous suit suits?
