My comments come, of course, in the Pynchon-L context
where the _1984_ references in _Vineland_ have been
exhaustively noted and discussed,  and you should
know, you were there.  But if you want to claim
Pynchon doesn't refer to Orwell's novel, that's your
privilege.

And now I've reached my daily limit for responding to
flamebait.
