Say wha

[Krafft, John M.]

I was perplexed by both of these messages from Mark Kohut in recent
Pynchon-l digests. I went to the archive for help, hoping the subject
lines (which are deleted from digests) would make things clearer, but
there's actually even less there to go on. Maybe something has gone
wrong with the archiving function?

How about that Mason & Dixon, eh? All revved up?. This essay I read
into during the 'rev your engines' time

[_This essay_ refers to what, please? Presumably it is supposed to be
useful for people preparing for the group read?]

[That's even less enlightening than the garbage-filled version in the
digest. I've pleaded with Mark and others for years to send only
plane-text messages to the list, not to assume everyone uses Facebook
or Twitter, and to remember that subject lines no longer make it into
the digests.]

Some fun the group read is going to be at this rate. But it may at
least be a welcome change from the nasty bickering and childish
name-calling we've had to put up with lately.
