Barry, it is sort of funny, that you have become such a MMY scholar or critic, sort of in the same way that someone is a Van Gogh scholar, or maybe a Thomas Jefferson scholar. But do you feel it might be wise to make some sort of caveat about one person's report about what MMY was alleged to

Just my two cents: Could it be that some TMers feel, at least subconsciously, like, say, 386's trying to run programs written for, say, Pentiums. They might well think that getting a fresh flesh nervous system could speed up their spirittual evolution, or stuff...

Michael, you really need to get a life other than this anti TM campaign. It's not a matter of whether to stay silent or not on an issue. You are stuck in a simplistic understanding about the whole organization. Sorry to sound so condescending, but no other way to see it, I'm afraid.
