Petri,
I have replied to your several questions with consideration. I do not
speak on behalf of my wife. None of the workers at the National
Headquarters of the TS in Australia is paid by Adyar. They are either
volunteers or else paid by The Theososophical Society in Australia.
You seem bent to attack me and now my wife. This is a discussion list
and the subject of the TS Presidential elections has attracted
interest. During the discussions here I have presented information on
the election process based on facts and I sign every message I post
with my name. I don't expect people to agree with me.
Instead of discussing issues I have presented you have chosen to
repeatedly attack me and question my motives. You have decided to
ignore the content and possible relevance (or lack of it) of my
messages and you accuse me of campaigning for my own advantage.
If you have any questions about the facts I have presented on this
discussion list I will try to address them. But if you continue with
your baseless attacks I will ignore them and draw them to the
attention of the list owner.
