I thank Carlos Aveline for bringing up again
the Coulomb charges against Madame Blavatsky.

For Theos-Talk readers who may not know much

"...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

"...Contrast alone can enable us to appreciate things
at their right value; and unless a judge compares notes
and hears both sides he can hardly come to a correct decision."
H.P. Blavatsky
