No, you haven't lost it. My reply to you is included below. You are 
welcome to ignore my answers. Just don't expect me to answer the 
same question again and again.

CWL was not the main founder of the LCC. It was James Ingall 
Wedgwood, who was consecrated on 13th February 1916. CWL was 
consecrated on 22nd July 1916. They are generally regarded as 
the 'founding bishops', but the main founder was Wedgwood.

Editorial matters should be referred to editors. I was never an 
editor of TPH. Did you raise the editorial issues you are now 
raising when you worked in the editorial section of TPH Adyar back 
in early 1994?

I see that you have chosen to ignore the quote from "The Secret 
Doctrine" on life on other planets, also included below . You are, 
naturally, entitled to do so.
