When HPB launched Theosophy, she used the print medium of that day. She
literally entered into a situation which was not very cozy to her point of
view and philosophy.

Internet is a very fast moving medium (24 hours a day, and not 8-5 and
postal delay of days.) It is going to require a lot of courage, skill and
talent to deal with so many here who are going to respond to any statement
that anyone makes, which we see every day. Hopefully there may be some
gentle and courages soul who may take on the task at some time in future.
