Theos-Talk Archives (November 2009 Message tt00001)

Hi,

I appreciate your offer, but I'm not personally responsible for any of this. I have forwarded your original post to someone who IS. I'm not even a member of the Theosophical Society in America, as I live in The Netherlands, Europe.

If you haven't heard from anyone in a week, do please e-mail the people at www.theosophical.org privately. There is no doubt a form or an e-mailadress available at their site. The information below should be included in your communications with the TSA.
