Perspective on what? Do you have a perspective on something other than
the Pynchon List? 
Obviously you can toss off black platitudes and ironic rebuttals as good
as any poo flinging ape on the list, but to claim that this list is
stupid and closed minded is not a perspective. It's certainly not a
perspective on Pynchon or any Pynchon related topic. 
It's dogmatic dog doo doo.

Can't quite understand this. There is territorialism (the partisan
politics). It can't be eliminated. It can be limited if we focus on
Pynchon.
