Here's a solution, folks:  Take the discussion somewhere else, where it's
even more on-topic!

Hundreds of people apparently subscribed to this list for Pynchon-related
discussions.  There are many other arenas for an intelligent, probing
discussion of similarly involving subjects, such as politics, geopolitics,
war, etc.  I think the subscribers here can be trusted to care about
political issues and seek out forums to discuss them without having them
shoved down our throats on a daily or hourly basis here.  Same thing with
all those flames that just don't seem to go burn themselves out.  Enough
already!  Stop it.  Please.  I'd really like hate to see this mailing list
wind up like that Beat mailing list and a whole lot of newsgroups.
