Do you really?  Why is that?

After some discussion of the SLSL format, seems that
"we" (the people who took the time and made the effort
to discuss how to schedule SLSL, I mean) decided to
leave discussion of the individual stories out of the
discussion of the Intro, and take them up in the
discussion sessions to follow.

There are plenty of things to discuss in the Intro
besides the comments Pynchon makes about specific
stories -- Dave's done a great job of bringing many
such topics to our attention. It's all up for
renegotiation, of course, at any time -- depending on
how the people carrying the discussion foward feel
about it, I mean.  I'm quite happy proceeding with the
schedule that was originally established for SLSL.
