This is wholly sane and reasonable, but misses at least a point.   I think 
everyone who is enthusiastic about the PF read agrees.   But it has to be 
allowed to play out.   There are numerous people warring against it as inappropriate 
(some claiming otherwise).  But there is nothing to come of this if the 
reading isn't alllowed merely to be.   Connections will come. We're talking about a 
complex work of art and we're just beginning.   Asking for quotas of 
Pynchon-related material is the work of very small minds and they should be ignored.   


There is nothing in the PF read that can hurt this list.   That it can help 
the list has already been demonstrated.
