And this -- whether or not Pynchon took a class with
Nabokov, whether Nabokov remembered him and what he
said about it later, and what Vera remembered -- has
all been discussed on Pynchon-L several times before
(beginning in '95), as I noted, and which you denied:

You would appear to be mistaken, my trash-talking
friend:

RE:  TP ice-breaker:

I'd ask him why he thought Nabokov always claimed not
to remember that he 
took his class at Cornell.

Marty--

Thanks for the reply.  Someone else who didn't also
post to the list reminded
me of the annecdote of Nabokov's wife, and for all I
know it's true,  But I'd
like one more piece of corroboration before I go out
on a limb and phrase the
connection as Susan Elizabeth Sweeney did in her
abstract.

As B/4

.... Quite breathtaking, really, your disregard for
simple fact.  But an intellectual dishonesty that
you've demonstrated again and again here.
