Theos-Talk Archives (August 2004 Message tt00729)

Hi Bill,

Oh. I see. Well, let me neither presume. and another English degree!

I just got back on BnStudy, and also joined theosophia, so am 
receiving piles of posts. I'm lazy these days, not saying anything 
unless I think of a point that hasn't been covered, which is quite 
seldom. Nice of you to send me a greeting. Hoping all is well with 
you,

Best wishes,
Adelesie
