http://pynchonwiki WAS Re: ATD SPOILER p. 95

[Dave Monroe]

Okay, even I have to object here now.  Doug, chill,
there was no "attack," just the usual, healthy, and,
esp. in the case of this wiki stuff, hardly
unjustified, quetsions anyone wielding a critical
skepticism (something to be encouraged, by the way)
might ask, is all.  The kind of questios that
rightfully demand, and, here, by and large recieved,
reasonable answers.  I think this has all been faily
polite, despite some ineplicable escalations ...

nothing more.  Doug, this is not you in person ...

Again, me, I'm concentrating my efforts here, where I
can avail myself both of more room and productive
feedback, though I may yet insert the quick annotation
and/or correction as the occassion arises ...
