Puranjana dasa says: Thanks for giving credit to the ritviks; yes, we are the original people to show that the Sridhara / GBC guru system is bogus.

Not only that, but the Ritviks were the first to:

1. Publish Srila Prabhupada’s July 9, 1977 directive on the Internet (http://pratyatosa.com/?P=25).

2. Publish Srila Prabhupada’s will on the Internet (http://pratyatosa.com/?P=3v).

3. Get a “Children of ISKCON vs. ISKCON” child abuse lawsuit started. (http://surrealist.org/jpgs05/complaint_state.pdf).

4. Make Srila Prabhupada’s books available on the Internet (Pre-1978 versions -- http://causelessmercy.com/).

5. Publish Srila Prabhupada’s lectures/conversations on CD-ROMs (http://krishnastore.com/prabhupada-dvd-and-mp3-library-h-krishna-402.html).

6. Make Srila Prabhupada’s lectures/conversations available on the Internet as free downloads (http://causelessmercy.com/?P=_PrabhupadasMP3Links).

7. Publish Srila Prabhupada’s videos as DVDs (http://krishnastore.com/prabhupada-dvd-and-mp3-library-h-krishna-402.html)

8. Make Srila Prabhupada’s videos available on the Internet as free downloads (http://causelessmercy.com/v/).

9. Make Srila Prabhupada’s videos available on YouTube (http://causelessmercy.com/v/).

10. Synchronize Srila Prabhupada’s lectures/conversations with their corresponding transcriptions (A work in progress -- http://causelessmercy.com/a/)

11. Make it possible to toggle between Sanskrit diacritics and no diacritics at the touch of a button. (For example, try going to http://causelessmercy.com/?P=Bg and pressing the “D” key.)*

* As far as I know, this diacritics toggle feature is unique to the entire Internet!

Not bad for a start.
 
If I can see a DVD based temple community before I die in this lifetime, that will make me eternally happy.
 
Unfortunately, according to most, we are already pure Vaisnavas and don't need to get together and cooperate according to Varasrama.
 
After all we've got Krishna Disneyland in India, a Prabhupada murti in California that gives the auspicious Satanic mudra, and hey, the Long Island temple throws a great Thanksgiving Day celebration.
 
I'll keep my chin up though, and thank you for the reminder of the good we have done.
