<<Now, what was that you were saying about the P-list
never discussing, before yesterday, the Nabokovs'
response to queries about Pynchon being his student?>>

I said nothing of the kind.  And wouldn't have, since
I had recently posted on the topic myself.  What I
said was that you remembered wrongly.  Which you did. 
You said:

<<So, a rumor that was disavowed by Nabokov himself
...>>

VN didn't disavow the rumor; he said he didn't recall
Pynchon.  Vera, however, said she did.

As I posted on June 16:

<<Vera (in an account that, I believe, has been
challenged) remembered Pynchon's handwriting (from
Cornell) as a combination of written and printed
letters.>>
