Any Pynchon Fans?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Yes, I like him (hey, I even contributed to the Inherent Vice wiki once 
;)), and he has been previously discussed here.  There are certain 
parallels with Wolfe, though no direct allusions AFAIK (cf Neal 
Stephenson, for example).

Cheers, David Duffy.
