> we don't even know where any one is geographically located in the world

I can help a little on that score.

If you have a globe of the world that shows the 48 states in the main 
section of the USA, just put a thumbtack into the globe where Missouri, 
Arkansas and Oklahoma meet.

The thumbtack covers my house. More specifically, I'm about two miles 
south of Missouri and less than ten miles east of Oklahoma.

I enjoy this virtual TS. It is the only TS that I participate in, but I 
would not call myself a member, because in my mind, calling myself a 
member of one group implies that I am not a member of another point of 
view. I prefer to think of myself as a member of all points of view, 
even those points of view that appear to be self-contradictory.

My parents, especially my dad (deceased '92), were what you'd call 
members, though I don't know if they were national members, or just 
regionally? (I never asked, and it's hardly worth the effort to ask Mom 
about it. She hasn't been to any theosophical meetings in going on ten 
years now.)

P.S. I'm finding that I'm getting a lot of e-mail. If I wanted to just 
receive e-mail from just one theosophical discussion group, and if I 
wanted that group to not necessarily be the most complicated group, 
which group would be recommended that would be basic, yet filling? With 
my ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), sometimes the long detailed 
treatises on a very involved topic get so hard to pay attention to that 
I skip them.
