Lynn is quite correct.

BUT, I don't see anything that can be done about it. This board is for
people who have been theosophists or metaphysical students for long periods
of time and want to discuss matters of interest to the, These discussions
are not for everyone, for instance the long discussions between Kim and JHE,
and Jerry and JHE, vis a vis the terminology of different schools of
theosophy. Now this is interesting to long time students but must be utterly
mystifying to the newbie because it consists of two real experts discussing
"expert level stuff". There are also, as is typical with scholars, rather
fierce arguments as to meaning, validity, etc. and that is no place for the
beginner. I am sure the TSA Board when it is finally up and running will be
at a better level for new folks.
