Is Pynchonoid AKA

[barbara100 at jps.net]

The kinds of lies we were talking about had to do with fakenames and whether
or not a listmember can know the another listmember is (1) real or (2) has
the support of friends offlist.
But for the sake of argument, the day Doug made that claim about
news.google.com, I did the same search for curiosity's sake and came up with
nothing too.  Then I did a search on regular google and found a whole
shitload of stuff for which I had no interest in sifting through.  But so
what? It's like he said then, the apple never tried to sell himself as an
orange.   He gave web site address.  You can hardly call that blatant.
