Bill, you wrote in your best style:

Dear Bill, since Brigitte decided to write what she
did in the following post:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theos-talk/message/4623

and seemed to convey to readers that Cranston's book
is "theosophical propaganda" whereas Johnson's and
Godwin's and Deveney's books are in a different
category of "the real valuable books", I thought it
might be useful to point out that ALL the books
mentioned in Brigitte's post need to be looked at very
closely for biases, mistakes, omissions, etc. For
example, Pratt and I tried to show some of the flaws
with Johnson's books. Certainly it could be done to
Cranston's book as well the other titles mentioned. 

Why is it that Cranston's book is the only one to be
"propaganda" or "biased", if that is the contention
Brigitte is trying to suggest?

I detect biases and suppositions in the other books
mentioned by Brigitte. Nevertheless all of them
including the Cranston book are valuable expositions
and should be read and studied by persons interested
in Blavatsky.

Bill, you ended your email with:

> Get a life man. You are your own worst enemy. 

Thanks for your advise, Bill. No doubt, you know what
you are talking about! :)
