Out of 300+ (more or less) P-list subscribers (last
time I checked), and at least 6 on your list have yet
to  post anything substantial in the discussion.  Eugl
is correct in noting that the vast majority of
P-listers are taking no part in the Pale Fire
discussion.

Yes it's generating lots of discussion, but very
little of it (and nothing from Keith or fq, it's
outspoken defenders this morning) has anything to do
with Pynchon, even in the most tangential sense. 
Unless we want to explore in depth the conjunction of
Pynchon's juvenilia with the publication date of
_Lolita_ as fq has suggested (as near as I can
understand his jabber) but declines to discuss.

This remains an unmoderated list, and you've
demonstrated, as predicted, that a choreographed
effort can impose its will and dominate Pynchon-l with
whatever topic it wishes.

Looking forward to more Pynchon-related Pale Fire
discussion,
