Theos-Talk Archives (July 2001 Message tt00206)

Thank you very much for the List. I already have many of them, and I
save many of the Very Long posts that Dallas sends along. (to continue
reading later).

I am printing this list out, Some of the new ones I am ordering. It
seems the Email list is getting longer as I study Dallas' posts. And I
have all the Collected Works of HPB.
