Theos-Talk Archives (May 2009 Message tt00693)

Thanks for your feedback.

I strongly encourage everyone to go back to all the messages posted on this
list starting with Jan/Feb 2008 when the election started. There are
numerous messages containing a lot of detailed information and it would take
time for anyone to digest all the facts so that a comprehensive and complete
picture can be obtained. Without an exhaustive careful reading of all of
them, one is likely to be either confused or come out with erroneous
conclusions.

For the information of everyone, I would like to repeat that I am just an
ordinary member and have held no position in the TS administration in the
past nor am I planning to hold any in the future. In addition, I have my own
business for living so I am not beholden to TS and any member of TS for my
livelyhood.

More we take interest in the TS matters, better it is. And we all should be
thankful for the power of Internet that is in everyone's hands today.
