Re: Theos-World Historical accuracy and specifying your own sources.

Hi Adelasie, all of you,

Thanks Adelaise for the below remarks.

I saw Dallas post one of my own emails to what i called 'BN-study' - some few hours ago.
I pondered a little about why he did that, without asking (physically) - and then I had to agree with him - so only 'heart' feelings from me on that -specific email.
You know, theosophist sometimes act strangely. 

But maybe some on this list would like to be asked first before they see orhear, that their posting is being put on another list - without their knowing. 

I suggest: Let us at least seek to be polite - - allright?

I know - I have had some faults from time to time on that issue, but I am presently doing my best.

We can only do our best - Steve too.

Happy showers to you all.

Hi-ho - Hi-ho.....

from Sufilight
