Yes, well I don't agree with a LOT of what I read on Theo-L. Too bad for me!
 I still use the delete key whenever I see a post to or from our
fundamentalist friend, and whenever I get bored with a post I can delete it
right in the middle. It is a pain, but so is freedom and democracy!

Daniel Caldwell has a slightly different opinion of "source" Theosophy than I
do, Eldon and JRC have different views on psychic exploration, etc. etc.
 That's why it's called DISCUSSION and not "ditto."

If we are all content to let "Daniel Who Irritates the Lions" to discuss
whatever he likes, then it seems equally fair to allow historical discussions
to continue unimpededly.

Daniel Caldwell, if you read this and would like to open up some discussions
of history, this time I feel some people WILL back you up. Go for it, and if
I don't agree with what you write I'll be sure and speak up (or delete it!)
