Dear Krsanna,

Thanks.

Can you explain what is to "abolish the parent society", and its difference with regard to "dissolve the TS"?

Regards, Carlos.

Carlos -- I never said that HPB dissolved the TS.  I said that HPB
abolished the parent society.  The notion of dissolving the TS was
Bart's invention.

Best regards,
Krsanna
