When I answered this post awhile ago, I didn't realize
it was to Pynchon-L, too.

No criticism intended at all. Your suggestion was a
good one, and you've come up with some great
resources.  Too bad s~Z -- who started this Pale Fire
ball rolling -- didn't  follow up on it (and on
davemarc's suggestion).

It seems clear now that the Gang of Five was just
stirring up shit, more interested in putting up a list
of names that excluded me than anything else. 

I agree that a discussion of Pale Fire with a Pynchon
focus could be quite interesting, but that's not what
s-Z proposed.  As I said to the list, I doubt the
ability of s~Z, Morris, and that little group to
conduct a Pynchon-focused discussion of the novel.
