What I happened upon....

[Dave Monroe]

Do note--again ...--that it's precisely because of
such conecrens that I wrote to the boy's mother.  It's
up to her and Mr. Pynchon--and, of course, Jackson
himself, who may op may not have known about that
site--to worry about this, first and foremost.  If
they want that picture (or even those pictures, or
even his name, or his drumming, et al.) removed,
they'll be removed.  Meanwhile, they'll be accessible
to anyone with a machine, a browser and a search
engine.  And they may well remain so, depending on
what The Pynchons feel best.  But at least we know
(or, at least, we have good cause to believe) they
know now, or will soon enough, so ...

So if it's there, it's there.  If not, not.  I still
feel that somehow Judy is being villified simply for
finding it and bringing it to our attention, and I'm
being vilified for pointing out some implications and
tehn (rightfully) bringing them to teh attention of
teh kid's mom, which in either case just ain't right
...

Would y'all rather the Pynchons DIDN'T know?  For all
we know, Judy may have done 'em a valuable service. 
Most kids get in trouble via the internet because
their parents DON'T know what tehy're doing online, so
...

Otherwise, most else you've written doesn't seem to
address anything I've posted, at least, so ...
