DaasYochid: I never said it is a free-for-all. When I said to act ‘as you feel comfortable”. I meant to say that you can follow a Possek that you feel comfortable with-regardless of others. We have seen that numerous times in our age. Witness the whole ‘eiruv’ discussion on these pages(where you and i had comments), with two and more opposite sides. Witness the (old) discussion about cholov yisroel- or cholov stam-as some call it. I can quote you numerous other examples.At the end of the day “puk mo amo diber” is a valid position. I think that the discussion about the checking of “toloim” is a similar situation. The ones requiring very extensive checking have not made their case conclusively, thereby leaving room for more lenient views.
