I have a question: "Is a puzzlement", why is it that these folks complain
when the four or five of us exchange short, sometimes funny, and sometimes
pithy comments on the subject of theosophy or allied subjects (and
everything is an allied subject) and yet they would not complain were those
messages to be long, involved, extremely complex discussions that no one but
ourselves could either comprehend or be interested in?
When two people become involved in a long multi-message game of
quote-counter quote it can use up lots of message units. Why is that
acceptable and the short but pithy message not so? Could it be, perhaps,
that it is not so much the messages as the messengers?
