Green Light for an Apology

Friends,
I have to apologize. In addition to working with English language in a Portuguese speaking country, away from my library and with no proper dictionary at hand, I also don't always pay due attention to revising what I write down.
See below one of my texts, free from a few typos:
ooooooooooo
Daniel,
Thanks!
You have used this quotation for a few dozen times, since February 2006:
"...none but the logician, the investigator, the dauntless
explorer should meddle with books like this. Such delvers
after truth have the courage of their opinions. H.P. Blavatsky"
Now I will comment it.
HPB says: "... in books lilke this".
She is not referring to your gossips, or to Solovyov's slanders. She is referring to real Theosophy, Philosophy, Divine Wisdom -- hasn't it occurred to you before?
Kindly take this into consideration.
I hope you will convince your friends David Green and Terry Brown that you three could well try paying atention to Theosophy.
Regards, Carlos.
