Good move. Note that when Terrance doesn't have
anything to say he resorts to a couple of tactices: 
one is to throw in huge chunks of Dewey, Mellville,
and other texts with only the most tangential
connection to the book at hand; the other is to come
up with an insulting questions -- "Are you
deliberately ignoring the book?" in this case -- and
use it as a club against his reasonable interlocutor.

T's has been doing this here on Pynchon-L ever since
he managed to pull himself up out of those early days
when all he seemed to be able to post was gibberish
cut and pasted with no discernible structure.
