Theos-Talk Archives (March 2005 Message tt00629)

Just a coment Bill and M. 

It is an old discussing that I have received a year or two in this same list...from time to time it comes again.
Does it make any difference if we spell or write a word with capital letter or not, for we all know whom we are talking about?!

Hallo all,

My views are:

Come on Bill.

The use of the word "Master " or "master" is even used by Blavatsky in The 
Secret Doctrine
several times either as "Master" or "master", in fact mostly as "Master".

Both possibilities exists. Let them be used when in need.
