To Pedro: Besant, Leadbeater but what about the 
other claimants?

It appears that you accept the claims of
Mrs. Besant and Mr. Leadbeater to be in contact with
H.P. Blavatsky's Masters. 

But what about the multitude of other claimants
who ALSO said they were/are in contact with
HPB's Mahatmas?

See THE LIST of some of the more prominent ones at:

"Too Many 'Messengers,' Too Little Time to Sort 
Through the Morass"

Do you also accept ALL of these other claims?

For example, do you accept Bailey's claim?

And if you do not accept all of them, how do you 
determine who is telling the truth and who is not?

In other words, what criteria (if any) do you
use to sort thorough the morass of claims and
(what appears to be)counter-claims?
