I am glad to read you post on the material that appeared in the Akbar
Lodge Newsletter. Am I also very glad that there are others lurking and
reading the posts here.

We need to get more e-mail users to sign up here. One of the problems is
that many members who have access to e-mail either does not know about
theos-l or do not have specific information on how to sign up. I have
made copies of the writeup prepared by Don DeGracia and with slight
changes have sent them to members of TS and also have requested them to
make copies and distribute them to others who may have an interest. Also
I have put copies in the local health food grocery chain store and have
requested others also to do the same. I have also suggested them to
reprint it in their Branch/Study Center Newsletter.

It is my hope that we will see more interested people sign up. I am fully
aware of the potential and power of e-mail as a medium of communication
and discussion.
