  To be honest there has not been much theosophy over the past 6 months.  If I was new to Theosophy I would get the impression that its membership are more interested in politics.

  We already have the theos-talk and theos-L. Here is one place where those
  belonging various organizations and those who belong to none are
  participating as brothers and sisters -- true theosophists. Apparently, none
  of those in the administration directly or indirectly want to show up
  (exception being Pedro and in the past Einar (now deceased)) on it even
  though everyone knows that it is closely monitored by some in the
  leadership.

  PS: Even though some times there is a lot of noise, here is a place where
  you can find information which is unavailable anywhere or people are
  unwilling to talk about! Some newbees are terrified because it is one place
  where equality prevails without anyone fearing any personality or
  organization, truly a very scary place for those coming from a closed
  protective environment.
