Theos-Talk Archives (October 2006 Message tt00501)

Friends, 


As Daniel is possibly an independent researcher and not financially dependent on John Algeo or  the bureaucracy of the Adyar TS in the USA, he might comment these statements by our common friend Jake: 

They've had them 
 for up to 40 yrs (the original vols. were 
published independently by Zirkoff) and 
that's long enough. They certainly don't 
care much about publishing rights - unless 
its their own - as can be seen by Algeo 
stealing and plagiarizing perhaps the whole 
of John Cooper's editorial work on Vol. I 
of "HPB Letters." The work is de Zirkoff's 
- not Quest's. One wonders why the largest 
TS - Wheaton/Adyar - has to go Outside 
their own largest organization to get any 
quality scholars - de Zirkoff and Barborka, 
for instance, were both Point Loma people. 
A good question is - since groups like 
ULT and Pasadena have put all their 
literature online - why hasn't Quest/Wheaton 
done the same thing? The work on the 
BCW CD (a good thing!) is the work of 
another nearly Independent in the Phillipines 
- Vincent Hao Chin (?). Always work by 
independents - which Wheaton scarfs up!

So far, Jake.  Does Caldwell have the courage to comment it? 

I see no reason for Caldwell to disguise his position in defence and at the service of John Algeo and the TSA's bureaucracy.  Or else he might act as an independent researcher, and then respect the founders, respect the movement, and have a more balanced position.

Regards,  Carlos.
