Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt00008)

Judging from the sarcastic tone, I'm guessing this is critical. I see
from other postings that apparently some people have a grudge against
Z? Strangely enough, this is a discussion on theosophy--surely you'd
think everyone would get along, even if they had extreme ideals?

I digress; this was what I was looking for, I suppose. a 1 in 160
trillion chance is just that--even how improbable something is, it
still can happen.

I will still be waiting to hear from more people. I'm sure there's
something to this, and if it's not real then I still wish to
participate in the discussion.
