Does HPB Contradict herself?????

In reply to my posting at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theos-talk/message/19667

I have received a number of private emails
chiding me for bringing this subject up and
saying I am just being academic and I just
don't understand.

One reply included this gem:

"This is academia type nitpicking FOR A PURPOSE..."

Another email supplies this comment:

"The date discrepancy is catching at straws in the wind.with a 
PECONCEIVED END IN VIEW."

No details are given to support these general
statements. No reasoning, nothing. 

One student actually supplied some material and then
summarized:

"....I do not see any contradiction when in 
Letter # 92, pp.352-53, [written 1877] HPB 
says that she has not seen the Sahib for more 
than 25 years, and elsewhere asserts
that she was with her Master(Mahatma) in Tibet--about
7 years before writing the letter in question."

But none of the replies and none of the material
given bears directly on this "contradiction" as far as I can tell.

More feedback and input welcomed and please publicly post it.

Daniel
