Thanks. Pynchon is mentioned every day and his
themes/motifs/issues find their echos as well -- the
sabotaged Foreword to _1984_ group reading showed very
well how closely linked are Pynchon's texts and the
other discourses in which we immerse ourselves.  The
Pynchon-related/NP discussion is irrelevant, anyway,
since every frequent contributor to Pynchon-L,
yourself included, post material of  debatable
relevance.

I don't think so. You left Pynchon out of the Foreword
discussion almost from the start. And if you move on
to another topic, you won't really know, will you. 

At any rate, anybody's free to discuss whatever they
want to here, so do as you like, buddy.  It's
delightful to think about how much fun it's going to
be watching you help fq read Pale Fire -- although the
easiest route might just be to let him work with the
Classic Comics edition.
