Responding to inquirers and helping them is their job. If they
cannot keep up with it they should bring to the attention to those higher
ups who are responsible. If I were you I will keep on refering the
inquirers and just ignore any responses like the above and if the inquirers
do not get good help in a reasonable time then it is time to see what can
be done. As they say the first impression is the most important impression
and we cannot lose a single opportunity to introduce a single soul to Theosophy.
