Theos-Talk Archives (November 2002 Message tt00172)

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,

YOUR BELOW LETTER IN ALL CAPS IS NOT SIGNED. 

IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE ALL CAPS ON A THREAD TITLED "BHAKTI ANANDA 
GOSWAMI USES ALL CAPS", PLEASE CLEARLY IDENTIFY THE PERSON YOU ARE 
ADDRESSING, AND SIGN YOUR EMAIL. THIS MORNING THIS EMAIL CAUSED 
CONFUSION IN MY PERSONAL ASSISTANT (I AM DISABLED), AND WHEN IT WAS 
BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION, I WAS ALSO AT FIRST NOT SURE WHO WAS 
ADRESSING WHO. IT IS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO READ EVERYONE ELSE'S SMALL-
CASE LETTERS POSTS, SO THIS ADDED TO THE PROBLEM. AS A RESULT I WAS 
AT FIRST CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE WAS IMITATING MY ALL-CAPS POSTING. 
THUS I WROTE THE REACTIONARY POST DEMANDING THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE 
ACTUAL AUTHOR OF THIS LETTER. HAVING NOW READ THE PREVIOUS 
EXCHANGES, I UNDERSTAND THEM, AND APOLOGIZE FOR THIS MISUNDERSTANDING 
OF MINE. WHOEVER YOU ARE, I AM DEEPLY SORRY AND ASK YOUR PARDON. 

MAY I SUGGEST SOMETHING ? WHEN A THREAD IS STARTED, THE EXCHANGES 
SHOULD BE DISCIPLINED AND CONFINED TO THE TOPIC. IF PEOPLE WANT TO GO 
OFF ON A TANGENT ELSEWHERE, THEN THEY SHOULD START A NEW TOPIC. 
ALWAYS TRY TO REMEMBER TO CLEARLY IDENTIFY THE PERSON YOU ARE 
ADDRESSING AND WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR POST. THIS WILL BE HELPFUL TO 
YOUR READERS. 

MY APOLOGIES AGAIN TO YOURSELF AND THE READERS ON THIS EGROUP. AS IT 
IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR ME TO READ NORMAL-SIZED TYPE, AND A HELPER IS 
NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO ME FOR THIS ASSISTANCE, TO AVOID MAKING 
FURTHER MISTAKES, I WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ACTIVE IN EXCHANGES ON 
EGROUPS ANYMORE. LAST YEAR DUE TO MY FAILING HEALTH (INCLUDING SIGHT 
PROBLEMS), I ENDED MOST OF MY INTERNET INVOLVEMENT REQUIRING THE 
READING OF SMALL LETTERS. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY THE CORRECT THING TO DO, 
AND I REGRET HAVING ATTEMPTED TO GET DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN ANOTHER 
EGROUP EXCHANGE, ON THIS FORUM. I ONLY CAME HERE BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE 
CRITICIZING BRIAN FOR WRITING IN ALL CAPS. BRIAN WAS POSTING MY 
PERSONAL LETTERS REGARDING THEOSOPHY AND ARYANISM TO THIS EGROUP 
ANONYMOUSLY WITH MY PERMISSION. I ALSO APOLOGIZE TO BRIAN AND THE 
REST OF YOU FOR THE CONFUSION THAT THIS HAS CAUSED. 

BEST WISHES TO YOU ALL, 

PAX AND PREMA, 

BHAKTI ANANDA GOSWAMI
