This list is one of four.  However, from time to time information of one
sort or another appears (such as you mention below, and which I for one
went to and read).  Part of my own contribution has been the (somehwat
slow) uploading of theosophical classic texts to the list theos-roots,
as well as other material to theos-buds.  Most subscribers seem to take
all four lists, but it is not compulsory.  Theos-l, as I understand it,
is for very general discussion and even quite mundane conversation of a
"getting to know you" kind, and I see no harm in that - theosophical
objects can be served by meeting people vie the net - people we would
never get to talk to at all without it.

You describe yourself as a student (chela).  I have had many students
over some forty years of study, and have learnt quite a bit *from them*.
So ... Bjorn, *your* contributions need not be witheld!
