Great things have been achieved not because of masses. It is because of a
few dedicated, unselfish, enthusiastic, well motivated individuals and due
their persistence and self confidence in their mission.

Again, as John mentioned, the information is spreading beyond the 128
individuals. In addition, the readership in theos-l is going to increase as
more and more younger generation well versed in Internet get interested in
it. This is going to take place and how fast I cannot predict. In addition
there is feverish activity going on in creating the network computer and as
soon as this becomes a reality, your will see mushrooming of access to
Internet. Just by word of mouth, the availability of theos-l will spread and
I expect a lot of members and newbees and interested individuals are going
to read the traffic here. Once this gets started, no one will be able
control or censor or stop it.

Who knows this may be the tool for regeneration of TS for the next
millenium, and the Real Founders may be working on it unknown to us. They
may want it to be a truly philanthropic organization and not just a
recruiting ground for the sheepish followers.

As an optimist, I am looking forward to challenging and glorious years ahead.
