". . . Ad to this all the evidence listed in the book by the Hare

NOT ALL, has been refuted by Theosophists EVER. . . . "

If I understand B/B's point, the assertion is made that NOT ALL of 
the "evidence" given by the Hare brothers has been refuted by 
Theosophists.

If this is actually B/B's point, then this must mean that B/B has not 
only read and studied the Hare book but has ALSO carefully read, 
studied and compared all of the critiques of the Hare book with what 
the Hare brothers wrote. 

Brian/Brigitte, have you ACTUALLY read the critiques of the Hare 
book? I give the list of the critiques at the end of this email [See 
BELOW]. 

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, please Brian/Brigitte, give us on this forum a 
few DETAILED examples of the "evidence" in the Hare book never 
refuted by the Theosophists. I don't mean vague generalizations but 
detailed examples.
