Bad link?

[Carlo]

Mark, I appreciate your link sharing activity, also and especially 
because I tend to do the same in other contexts.

Then, the broken link issue is a bit annoying, because when reading the 
email with the broken link from a phone it's less than ideal finding the 
original tweet and then then the link, but I guess there's not much we 
can do about it

I hoped and knew someone or two would follow-up by reading and perhaps commenting ( when I had no time, as stated). I sometimes see the Plist as a community of suggestions, leads, as well as facts and discussion of Pynchon (and perceived related writers and ideas and facts).
