Dear Prof. Suresh Chandra

*Sorry, but the statement:* /"When the coordinates are different, the 
bond lengths and angles have to be different." /*Is wrong.
There is no geometry rule to support it.*

I have computed the distances for you:

1    H1    1    0.000000000     1.765967499     -2.745177896
2    H2    1    0.000000000    -1.765967499     -2.745177896
3    C      6    0.000000000      0.000000000    -1.634732411
4    S    16    0.000000000      0.000000000      1.455909829

               rhh                    rh1c              
rh2c                     rh1s                 rh2s                    rcs
    3.531934998    2.086080148    2.086080148    4.557167901    
4.557167901    3.09064224

1    H1    1    0.000000000    1.765973450    -3.050725593
2    H2    1    0.000000000   -1.765973450    -3.050725593
3    C      6    0.000000000    0.000000000    -1.940275913
4    S    16    0.000000000    0.000000000      1.150376265

               rhh                    rh1c              
rh2c                     rh1s                 rh2s                    rcs
     3.5319469    2.086087419    2.086087419    4.557183236    
4.557183236    3.090652178

 From one of the triangle rules: /"If the 3 sides are equal, the 
triangles are equal",/ we can also say that all the angles are the same.

*Looking carefully you just have a translation of -0.305548 in the zz 
axis, and the centre of mass is not the same in both results.
*
So you got the same result... And the He atom should be located at 
different *relative* positions.

Best regards

João Brandão
