Not that the methods of various kinds of 
inquisitions haven't kept up with the 
times, to some extent, one might think 
... (so much so that the word 
"inquisition," as it was once used by 
"the Church" re "heretics," might be 
generally seen to have been relegated to 
history, one might think ...). Not that 
one person's heretic, inquisition, 
truth, wisdom, etc, might not be another 
person's whatever, so sorry about the 
circularity of my speculating (thanks, 
Leon, for having pointed out my tendency 
towards circularity in my speculating; 
but, what can I say ...). Of course, on 
the other hand, Theosophists, or 
students of Theosophy, (or some or most 
of them, maybe ...), might be seen to 
have somehow transcended the age-old 
"orthodox vs. gnostic" squables ...

Speculatively,
Mauri

PS ^:-/ ... that's my symbol for a 
speculative guy who thought might've had 
something worthwhile-enough to say, 
maybe, but wound up scratching his head 
at the circularity (among other things) 
of his comments.
