[Rich Clavey]

Don't take it personally J. In my experience, and I believe others will back me up here, I have been disconnected from the list many times over the years for dog only knows what arcane reasons. I try not to think about it too much, resubscribe, and continue receiving the many benefits of this list.

I was wondering if I got kicked of the Pynchon list?  I haven't received one
since the 19th of December.  If I did get kicked out, I understand and I'll
leave now, I may be a bit broken-hearted, but I should be able to survive.  

Was it because I had sent to the P-list in Rich text instead of Plain text? 
I'm sorry for that.  I'm using a Mac at home and I'm sending e-mails
through Yahoo, so I hope this is in Plain text so I can at least start to repair
the nearly catastrophic P-list severences. 

I resubscribed to the P-list (hopefully that's OK with everyone (I felt
like I was just getting started on my P-list social relationships and
discussions before I lost all connections)), so I missed out on some of the VL
discussion, but I can surely go back to the archives - of which I've already
done - to get back in the swing of things.  Hopefully, ya'll still have me
down for Chapters 10-11, if not I'm sure that's because I was indeed
booted from the club and I will make myself scarce.

I wonder if Pynchon was on this list, if he would send messages in Plain text
or in Rich text.  I'm sure it would be in Rich text first being a luddite
and all.  I wonder if he would have any sort of intelligent or thought-provoking
remarks to make in the discussions on this list.  I doubt it if he would have
anything new to say that hasn't already been said.  

Hopefully I'll be kept around this time.

Thanks,
Josiah
