Joseph –
In response to your last comment to me (and I realize the discussion has moved on) – I have no objection to someone bringing up a general public Psak for discussion. I do have an issue with your Yenta-ish trying to figure out what Psak I personally received – whether by bringing a public Psak from the Posek I asked or any other method.
I repeat what I’ve stated previously in this thread – I received a Psak from Rav Belsky when I was starting to interview for jobs. I spoke to him in detail about it then, and then again later in my career when relevant. He may have been machmir, he may have been meikil, he may have been machmir in some circumstances and meikil in others – IT DOESN’T MATTER. It was a personal Psak, and I’ll keep it that way.
As to Moshe Dovid Leibovits’s writings on Rav Belsky’s Psak – my only point was that while these are interesting and can be useful, one should be aware that often, not all details of the circumstances or the Psak are brought, and one should therefore ask an individual She’ela. That is the only point, and I think one even a provocateur/Yenta like yourself should understand and agree with.
A Gut Shabbos to all,
an Israeli Yid
