Re: Theos-World Vague speculation, or precise observation?

There is a very simple solution to resolve the issue we have been discussing
for days.
All David Green needs to do is to post a simple message identifying who he
is, where was he born, what his background (such as education, training etc)
is, how and when and where he got interested/involved in theosophy, at what
address does he currently live, how does he make a living and telephone
number(s) where he can be contacted. And any other info of interest he would
like to share with all of us. I am sure everyone will agree that this is a
very reasonable request.
Once the identity is established/clarified as above, the whole topic under
discussion will go away and we can get on with more important and serious
theosophical discussions everyone can engage and enjoy.
I recall some time ago my posting a msg either here or at theos-l stating
that my name is listed in the white pages, business pages and yellow pages
in San Antonio, Texas and theosophists holding high organizational positions
and not holding any position has visited and stayed with me in the past and
that one can make a search on Internet and locate where I live. Till some
time ago, on Internet you can also get a floor plan of my home as well!
So no one need to fear about identifying themselves, especially
theosophists!
MKR
PS: I am also posting this to theos-l with the hope David Green will soon
answer.
