When did it all start?

[Ya Sam]

I am a relative newcomer to the P-list, but browsing in the archives reveals 
deep enmity between some participants, people calling each other names and 
really hating one another. That's just plain curiosity and if it's none of 
my god-damn business, tell me so (I know, some will), but when did this all 
start? Was there enmity in the list from the very beginning, some ancient 
feud among different irreconcilable clans of Pynchon interpretators. As for 
me, heated argument and bantering are all right, but sometimes people DO get 
personal here. Can I be trusted with the deep secret of love and hate on the 
P-list? I did not notice such violent reactions on the DFW list by the way.
