Well, that sounds just swell. I'll probably drop a few things into the mix here, 
photography looms as a major feature in the start of this section, probably 
has some bearing on later uses of photography and the author's famed
abhorence of the process.

Seriously, Steven C. Weisenburger's "A Gravity's Rainbow Companion" is
a good model for what we can do here, illuminate a given obscure reference,
demonstrate outmoded uses of everyday words, the occasional spontaneous 
lit-crit effusion. But sticking more to mapping terrain rather than describing 
it. I'm all for showing how each piece of the puzzle fits, though this is really 
more about showing each piece of the puzzle.

        Dear P-listers,
 
        I'm new this year and have loved it. I (sorta) have 
        some free time at the moment---which could 
        change almost overnight......
 
        BUT THE READ MUST GO ON...
 
        If you will give me a day to reread the section....
        and know that I will rely probably too much on 
        the wiki, which I also love and have contributed 
        much to,
 
        And know that I will not be as good as the 
        just-left Keith and others who have prepared 
        as if responsibility has real meaning in life, 
        then I will try to host.......
 
        if 'y'all want.
