Hi Paul,

I'm sorry if you took what I said as a discreditation of your motives.   But, 
if that's the way you interpret it, and the shoe fits, I suppose you'll just 
have to wear it. :-).   

If you would reread my statement carefully, you will see that the hearsay 
evidence I referred to is what Carlos has put forth, based on what he heard from 
you that you heard from someone else.   The circumstantial evidence is now 
what you are forced to bring forth to justify what you said, and possibly, to 
sidetrack further discussion of your motives (whatever they are ;-). 

Methinks that thou protestest too much... Since all you have accomplished is 
to extend this pointless (as far as theosophy is concerned) controversy even 
further -- which continues to fill our mailboxes with side issues that have 
nothing to do with theosophy per se, or its discussion.    

Accordingly, I have no time to waste reading any of the information you claim 
is indicative of Daniel Caldwell's supposed fraud -- which seems to serve 
your own purposes rather than the interests of theosophists with relation to 
theosophy and its teaching -- that should be the purposes of this forum... And, 
NOT its use as a courtroom in which you and Carlos, among others who similarly 
appear to have some antagonism toward Caldwell, also appear to be acting as 
Judge Jury and Prosecutor.  

In fact, It might be that in your zeal to defend yourself against your 
imagined attack by me of your motives, your so called evidence against Caldwell may 
even add to the possible evidence of libel or slander that Caldwell might be 
in process of gathering against all those who continue with this prosecution by 
innuendo and inference -- while he justifiably stays silent, and lets all his 
accuser's put their feet in their mouths.    And, of course, I expect the 
blame to be put on me if that happens (as I am being blamed below for Caldwell's 
silence).   </;-)>

The only thing I can add here with reference to the rest of this letter is 
that you are continuing to accuse Caldwell of fraudulent actions based on both 
hearsay and circumstantial evidence... None of which has any relevance to the 
cause of theosophy -- which I and I hope the rest of this forum have as our 
prime interest.

Also, I hope that this might be the end of these personalized threads that 
have nothing to do with theosophy, its philosophy or its useful history -- which 
I for one would prefer goes as far back as its initial proponents in ancient 
Greece -- rather than discussing the foolishness of modern day theosophists, 
pseudo theosophists, their leaders and their organizations that came after the 
"real" HPB, along with the "real" Masters KH and M -- whom together, wrote 
Isis and the Secret Doctrine... And gave out the entire basis of pure 
unadulterated theosophy to the modern world. (Anything to the contrary, in my view, being 
pure hogwash by power hungry plagiarizers and poseurs.)   Now, let's gt back 
to 

Best wishes,

LHM
