“Well now that I know that someone is interested in reading, I will try to do so, bli neder.”

I am interested too

“I didn’t say I remember every sheilah, and I didn’t say that I was going to write all those that I remember.”

Yes I understand. Im just flabbergasted that the avergae frum person could have that many shaylas.

“No, the new people don’t know enough to know what to ask.”
Sometimes
” As one or more of the posters already wrote (don’t remember who), sometimes, the people who know more have more questions.”
Sometimes, though this was then qualified.

“If people aren’t asking at least weekly, it may be because they don’t want to acknowledge their lack of knowledge.”
Or it is becasue generally speaking shaylas dont come up that often.
you list categories of halachas. fine I understand yo u have an ice cream sandwich (youve never had one before I guess) and you dont know what beracha to make so you ask your Rav . Ok thats one. you have 149 to go. Unles you are asking about ice cream, cookies, apples, pears etc Idont see how you can get so many.

“I find that almost every Shabbos, a halachic sheilah comes up that no one is sure of the answer to”
and it isnt in the Mishne berurua? IOR they dont have access to one? Or they cant read it?

“The distinctions were (knowingly and deliberately) vague.”
Please try to Avoid making vague points. It doesnt contribute to the conversation and it doesnt make you sound smarter.

“My point was basically that I thought that you …”

Also please avoid assumptions.

“There is a difference between knowing halacha well, and knowing enough to posken specific sheilahs that come up.”
So not like Tzoras? do you mena like nikur which requires hands on experience? Or examining marehs which colors are difficult t convey in writing. (Agreed that is an exception which I acknowledge can led to monthly questions potentially more this my range of 4 – 24 a year excluded these)

“I will b”n try to do so soon.”
Looking forward!
