Gregory to Anand:
Name three of them! Produce the evidence of their critical reviews of the 
book.
Incidentally, the only reviews published in (Adyar) TS journals were both
highly flattering AND written by a member with a PhD. Even poor Peter 
Michel, a
devout Adyar Theosophist, who struggled in his biography of Leadbeater to 
defend
the man, began by acknowledging the quality of my research (and, by the way,
accepting the 1854 birthdate).


Frank adds:
Gregory, I was going to the shelf, took Michel's hagiography and re-read the 
para.
Yes, he admits that you discovered CWL's real birthsday.
But he adds that this your discovery is only for time and that in the future 
another answer may be possible.
I interpret it that way that you merely discovered unworthy exoteric 
sources, whereas there still remain higher esoteric sources which say 
otherwise.
That must be the reason why Michel also adds that both your biography and 
your dissertation are "extremely biased" and "stick on prejudice 
dierection".
I rather doubt that this is "acknowledging the quality of [your] research" 
and accepting the 1854 birthdate.
