==============================================================
The text by Gregory Tillett which Daniel Caldwell quotes below 
plainly shows that Dr. Tillett has never had the patience to visit 
the ULT in Los Angeles or to study its publications, so as to build a 
dialogue and therefore get to know things.
=============================================================

I am completely puzzled by Mr. Aveline's above assertion.

WHAT TEXT by Tillett that I quoted "plainly shows that Dr. Tillett 
has never....."?????????

The only text by Tillett that I quote in my posting which can be 
found at the above URL is as follows:

============================================================
Now consider what the historian Gregory Tillett has written about
Robert Crosbie and the Dzyan Esoteric School:

"Within the ULT a separate ES, claiming continuity with that of HPB,
was established in 1909 with the title 'Dzyan Esoteric School', which
it claimed was the proper title of the Second [Esoteric] Section of
the Theosophical Society."

Dr. Tillett also wrote:

"The first DES group was established in Los Angeles by Robert Crosbie
in November 1909...."

===========================================================

WHY DOES MR. AVELINE MAKE THE ABOVE STATEMENT ABOUT TILLETT'S QUOTED 
MATERIAL????????

Is Mr. Aveline saying that what Tillett writes above is wrong??  If 
wrong, how so?????????  Please Mr. Aveline cite evidence if you have 
any.

Of course, I don't expect to get a straight forward reply from Mr. 
Aveline about this, but I think here is a good example of a statement 
by Mr. Aveline which seems totally inappropriate to what was actually 
written, that is, in this case written by Dr. Tillett.
