Flagging/schedule change?

[Mark Kohut]

I am partial to this notion except that I prefer a list of themes, Pynchon nodes, those 'resonant ambiguites' we talk about that are SO CONTROVERSIAL (sometimes) and to my mind are worth it, etc. rather than to 'just the facts".....

I may have some time soon so I'll put up or shut up.
