As one of the "edge of the firelight" lurkers, I agree. Message traffic that
is clearly intended for one individual should be so addressed. Personal
comments/conversations/responses made public seem (to me) to both an overt and
a covert content. I have learned a lot from this maillist but sometimes I
have difficulty is separating the Theosophy from the Theosophist. Personal
communications in the guise of general information do not help.
Having said that, I accept my responsibility for discrimination and analysis.
Very best wishes to all,
Joe
