A bit puzzled that the post in which the above occurs is under
Subject: CWL & Mars?

There may be some folk who still have slow modems or pay
premiums for e-mail. Tonight I downloaded 52 postings from
theos lists alone, some of which will have me reaching for the
delete key as a routine activity. IMO some of the discussions
on Globes and such has become extremely intellectual and
technical - too much for a *general* discussion list. Imagine
being a newbie to Theosophy and finding oneself in the middle of
all this on theos-l. Such a person might be frightened away
from Theosophy altogether, thinking they would never get the
hang of it.

Some of us went to theos-roots for historical discussions, not
because we were pushed there, but because theosophical history
*is* about our common roots, and is therefore appropriate there.
