Charlie, what exactly is your mesorah? Who has transmitted this mesorah to you? Please trace this ish mipi ish (this is the only meaning of mesorah which I am familiar with) as far back as you can.
Please re-ask the question and answer (if it is not a violation of the rules regarding personal information) on a new thread, as it has no relevance to the OP or the discussion here. If you are trying to make an “argument by authority”, please state what your argument is and the authority on which you are attempting to base that argument.
P.S. DZ, what did you have for breakfast this morning? 🙂
