Maybe I'm too anal-a-little-kill about this, but from my experience of
our P-Liste and my knowledge of information assurance, a Pynchon Freee
for All (PFFA) may sound interesting, but the S/N would be so much
lower and the control channel would need to be so much stronger that
we'd end up resembling a Burroughsian cut-up.  I'm a big Burroughs
fan, but it sounds like a recipe for dis-asst'er.  The pie fight in
"The Great Race" is an amazing bit of choreography, but it required
amazing editing and direction skills.

But would it generate an interactive energy and what is an appropriate time frame, and can p-listers give it the energy to make it worthwhile?  Also up for V or ATD revisited. I am still listening to ATD on cd and feel it is a bit self indulgent but well worth the flaws .    I think there is still much to explore in ATD for the p-list, perhaps the greatest potential for new discovery.
