Theos-Talk Archives (November 2003 Message tt00139)

Hey Mauri,

Maybe you should have some patience, before you start worrying about whether 
I'm going to answer your letters of not. I hate to confuse you further, but 
since you insist on crossing over to both Bn-study and theos-talk, let me set 
the record straight. 

Leon is actually an abbreviation of Leonardo (my given name) -- which was 
hung on me by the doctor who made out my birth certificate, and which followed me 
through school and business. (Wm., Chas., Jms., they could handle, but Leon. 
threw them for a loop). However, everyone knows me personally as Lenny or 
Len. I've also been called Leo and Lee by some of my acquantenances, especially 
those that come from Europe or the Far East.

As for Lenny on Bn-study, that's because most of the founders and charter 
members of that forum came from the New York ULT Lodge where they all know me 
personally. In personal letters to friends and family, I use Len. In the 
science and other forums that link to my web sites, I use Leon or LHM. (This was 
because the moderator of the Journal of Consciousness Study online forum is named 
Len Maurer, and I didn't want to confuse them). So, there you have it, and 
now you can stop speculating on names (and hopefully, on everything else -- 
since I'm getting bored with it all.) 

(So, no need to answer this

Best wishes,

LHM, a.k.a. Leon, Lenny, Lee, Leo, Loony (sometimes) </::-)>
