Why are you kicking a dead horse? You already brought this issue up and it 
was answered. Can we please move on to the next piece of trash?>>

I will also monotonously repeat my offer to forward to anyone a copy of what 
I have written so far in my dissertation, that gives the lie to Gilbert's 
article and PROVES that HPB had utterly unique knowledge of Tibet -- 
knowledge we can now verify -- which could only have come from oral sources, 
nothing printed.

It is interesting indeed that David, that "searcher after truth" has never 
once asked to see my paper, because it is indeed conclusive that HPB knew 
much authentic Tibetan vocabulary (I can prove it) and had a knowledge of 
Tibetan geography that could only have come from an eye-witness, either 
herself or a close informant.

I will add that it is quite unscholarly -- and unsporting -- to repeat 
allegations without even bothering to look at counterevidence.
