Spam?

Yeah, deleting or ignoring is so hard. Suggestion: just block me and the other offenders until the Group Read which may be what you want? Ignore/ delete all the other irrelevant threads. When you do it fast, it might be like a video game. Might help feel TRP's BLEEDING EDGE. 

I heard there was a new Pynchon out, foax are writing and commenting all over the world. It is even bringing
Out many dormant plist folk, lurkers, ex-list folk.

I, for one, would like any of your comments in the Group Read of BLEEDING EDGE. But, if not, thanks for the memories.

I have returned from a short weekend with 247 new emails to delete, which will predictably contain at least a hundred forwards having anything to do with any word ever used by Thomas Pynchon, via about 2 list participants, whom I have begun to dread-and these are probably nice people who I haven't ever even met.  But I have begun to loathe them because they are list destroyers. They are broadcasting dual me-too's and announcing every little thing that pops into their minds many times an hour. I remember the days when the vast majority of posts were more deeply thought presentations --no less provocative, tho everyone thought very long and hard about hitting send before something was meant to be seen. I beg the RSS Forwarders and Twitter forwarders, put all your shit into 1 email per day, at least? You know? In the past, one took time to read what was delivered via Pynchon-l but now yeah it feels like spam. If I wanted to be on twitter, I would be on twitter. If I wanted to set up an RSS feed on every single news outlet and blog to scour them for all words ever written by Pynchon, it's not that hard to do and I would do it, but I don't, so please don't put all that shit on this list, ok? Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm older now and more sober and this all seems like a low priority to sift thru chaff and come up with 12 wheat kernels in this mound. Now it seems like the list is a contest to see how useless a listerv can be by its own massiveness of a heap shit death. I'm sorry it's not working out and that I have to text message break up with you. Seriously I think I've got to bow out. Unless I live a stagnant life in front of a soul sucking screen, I cannot participate. I wish I could set up rules to trash all the crap that isn't of some originality and mine will be first on your list I'm sure.
