The Anti-Pynchon Author of Note?

[Henry]

Is that the best you got, MalPense?  Weak ad hominem based on an inability to read well? 

I've never written anything but defensive praise concerning Roth.  From where do you get "You're the one who trivialized Roth as a series of shortcomings."  My contrasting Roth with Pynchon is not a denigration (de-ni-gration, Mal.  Look it up) of Roth, but a differentiation.  (Differ...)

As far as the inclusions of my professed professions in my sig is concerned, well how I earn my daily bread is nothing about which I'm embarrassed.  How 'bout you, Mal?  

Takes a lot more than BS from nowhere to ruffle my feathers.  I just enjoy bullying punks.

Oh, and sorry;  I didn't refer to you as Henry--Information, Media, and Technology Consultant.  Don't want to ruffle those feathers further.

Gees, Henry, seem to have touched a nerve.  You're the one who trivialized Roth as a series of shortcomings. 

What you wrote is a crock of shit.
"What a crock of shit?"  If you can read OBA, then why can't you read a simple 
email message without getting p's in a twist?  I'm a big fan of Roth; been 
reading him particularly since the start of his Zuckerman books.  His books are 
warm, and short, but deep, and they invariably make me chuckle with a tear in my 
eye.

There's room for more than OBA, except in GR's parody of a land where there is 
only one of each stereotype.  If you appreciate OBA at all, you should know that 
this is not an A or B world (except in politics)!  

What a crock of shit!?  Grow up, and grow a pair! Read before you write, MD! I 
thought better of you.
