In the very early days of TS when there were very few written
publications the members were having a difficult time getting information
on various Theos* subjects. Reading your appreciation of theos-l and how it
would have helped you if it were there I see an analogy. I truly believe
Internet and the international access to theos-l is the next quantum leap
and we Theosophists should make full use of it no matter what the organized
entities/TS Organizations think about it or how they have reacted to it. I
am very objective about this whole thing. How many times have you seen any
of the elected/appointed officials at the national or regional level have
ever posted any messages here. It is either due to illiteracy on their part
or their indifference or what other reason they only know. As I pointed out
in a msg some time back let us all put ourself in the seat of HPB and
imagine how she would have used Internet as a means of attracting the
attention of the world to the Theosophical ideas. It may give us some
creative ideas.

I have always felt that JEM and any one else who took the initiative
to put the theos-xxxx together have done all of us a great favor and our
gratitude is due to all of them.
