new person, welcome!

[Stephanie J. Stiavetti]

Or else he was talking about me, who joined just two days ago.

Hi everyone - I joined the list because I picked up my first Pynchon  
book, Against the Day, about a week ago.  I'm a little overwhelmed by  
the sudden flurry of emails I've received in just the short time I've  
been subscribed, but I'm hoping to eventually catch on. The acronyms  
alone have me reeling!

Anyways, it's nice to meet you all.

-> like a poem poorly written
-> we are verses out of rhythm,
-> couplets out of rhyme,
