Yes, whoever you are, but isn't it also "pretty 'human' wouldn't you say?" to 
take things out of context and misinterpret them entirely? Huh? A good idea 
doesn't need confirmation of its source... Does it? It stands on its own 
merits and needs no "authority" to give it credence... Right? So, wouldn't it 
be wise to think about letting the reader think for himself -- wouldn't you 
think??? 
I would.
</;-)> Why not?

But then, when one is studying from a book of references, wouldn't it be 
helpful to give references if you have them -- or not if you don't? Can't we 
see? Don't we remember? Who are we? Are we joking?

Anyway, "Best Wishes for a Happy New Year-Century-Millenium-
Cycle-Turn-Term-Tao -- to everyone, everywhere, everywhen." 
(But, shouldn't we keep an eye on the "Bushmen in the B-world?)
I would. Wouldn't you? Didn't HPB say so in the Proem? Or was it the 
Buddha? Can't remember. Can you?
