No, not food for thought.  This kind of legal-minded quibbling
and ...  argument ...  does not appeal to me.  I much prefer to
grin and think of the Tibetan Buddhist monks sitting in Tibetan
(or Indian, since the Invasion) monasteries ...  *debating*.
There, they healthily debate the teachings of the Buddha
Shakyamuni, and all of the counter-arguments to His sutras.  The
SPIRIT of the debate is what I think I appreciate most.  It is
humorous, respectful, and always helpful, *broadening* the
debators' minds while sharpening the Wisdom-aspect of their minds
and not the knowledge aspect.  This latter is so distasteful to
me sometimes, especially now and in myself!

So I think I will return to the Silence of lurker-status, and do
as one advised us to do who SURELY knew NOTHING of the Occult
life and path, ie, "keep on keeping on."

"...  Let inner union demonstrate And outer cleavages be gone
..."

Namaskar,
