Re: linking to *non-theosophical sites"

Hi Tony,

Well I can sympathise with Doss, because if we take our
second object seriously, we are studying other subjects
than merely HPB, the mahatmas etc. And we want the people
who visit our sites to do the same, no? 
I agree that a Krishnamurti site would link to Krishnamurti
sites. Of course my Krishnamurti site links (indirectly) to
sites on theosophy, tibetan buddhism and new-age sources in
general. Because my links pages link to all those subjects.
Perhaps that is because my interests are in all those
area's. I do agree that it is not strange that someone who
is only interested in theosophy, would link only to
theosophical sites. And on an official website of the TS, I
suppose I would think twice before linking to other
subjects. But then, that is the reason why my site is
independent. 

But, wether the reason I would think twice is rational - I
really don't know. Perhaps I am just afraid of what people
would say. Linking to a Krishnamurti-site would be a good
gesture though. And a way of showing the visitors of the
site that TS-members are often interested in Jiddu
Krishnamurti. The TS-Adyar sites don't give a clue to that
fact now (again, outside of my own site, but that is not an
official TS-Adyar site).
