That could have more to do with the way the questions were posed and the direction the sessions took, than with whether or not other books met the same criteria.
Wasn't Dewey Larson's work approved? If not by Council, then by Ra?

I think that's a stretch. I would only justify that conclusion if all books had been inquired about. Which they weren't. We all know that Ra was selective as to when they volunteered info not asked about.

Perhaps this argument would be better made as regards several million millennium.
If the info pertained to Ra, then I would agree. But it didn't. The info was either passed or not passed, based on its impact on us. And, to us, that 200 years happened to be at a time when there was a lot of upheaval in terms of technology, society, and consciousness.

As such Lavazza, it is in my humble estimation, for whatever thats worth, that its your call and yours alone, as it should be as regards any thread. Beware however that once an originator has given a gift, that it might just keep giving and giving, even if you do wish to end it, this by virtue of the fact that any participant might continue to wish to explore nonetheless...as he should.
Anyone may choose to cease participating in any thread. Likewise, anyone may choose to continue the discussion, with or without the originator of the thread.
