Joseph – thank you for the marei makomot and for all the other info you posted. I’ll try to look it up today. However, in regards to all your proofs, I’m afraid that your effort will probably go to waste. The problem is that most of the people that post here aren’t interested in hearing another side. They just want to complain and state that they are right. That’s why I usually stay away from the CR. I have an interest to hear people’s sides to any given issue. However, I am not interested in people that just want to shoot their mouths off. It would be nice if everyone could walk away with an appreciation having learnt something new even if we don’t agree with each other.
BTW – I noticed that MOSHE S never made a single comment after starting the topic, nor did he ever thank any of the commentators for giving him answers (or at least trying).
Moderator – maybe it’s about time to close this topic?
There are many posters who do not fit that description but are just less vocal. I will be moichel on their behalf.
