GR and Nixon

[pynchonoid]

The posts you dig up -- nice to be on the receiving
end of so much loving attention, too -- make my point.
 I never said that "no one knew such a thing" and
instead maintained that Pynchon helped to bring this
to a broader audience.  You're still a liar.

 If this (below) is what Malign uses to claim that I
said nobody knew anything about WWII before GR, or
whatever Malign's fabricated nonesense of the day
might be, reading my original posts makes it clear
that Malign is lying.  I haven't gone back to the
archives to verify that these are actually my words,
however, but it sounds about right.  Malign must be
very, very bored in order to have the time to track
and archive posts I wrote several years ago -- I guess
(juding from the later request for info about Levitra)
the big Romance with the Republican delegates has
fizzled?

How many copies of Sasuly's book have been sold in the
US?  Compared to how many copies of GR?  Pynchon
certainly took this information to a broad public in a
way that hadn't been done before.  
Revisionist WWII history still hasn't overtaken
elementary and high school history books in a way that
would make the details of WWII that Pynchon features
in GR household knowledge, either.

You remain a lying troll, Malign.
