NPPF -- no need to relate to Pynchon . . . .?

[Vincent A. Maeder]

From: The Great Quail>>I am not happy with either the N-List or the
essay format, but for the record, I have no problems with creating a
Pynchon sub-List for targeted non-Pynch readings. As I said previously,
I'm worried it might drain away some vitality from the main List, but on
the other hand, it would be a more focused, less flamey place that might
meet the needs of all parties.<<

It is true that the more work there is, the more analysis to be done,
the more crossthreads to be sewn, lead invariably to a higher quality of
work which is currently being demonstrated by the joint reading of NPPF
and VLVL.  Not all NPPF posts will be on point to a TRP connection or
influence.  But then many of the spasm about NP posts, personal
diatribes and sniping amongst the listers don't advance the TRP
discussion either.  So hang on to yer hat, pardner, and ride...
