I am glad to hear about your feedback. Would it not be interesting to hear 
the feedback from members who have been say 10, 20, 30 years around the 
Adyar group? Of course if the feedback (especially +ve ones) is from anyone 
who is or was a office holder or active in the other officially non-related 
activities, one may want to take it with a proverbial grain of salt.

Who is the person who provided you with the response?

I also saw it. I noticed that it seems to be a closed group. Can some one 
who has seen the past issues comment on how independent are the articles.

I hope it is so and is good news. We will have to re-visit after couple of 
years to appreciate the extent of change.
