Milhouse, you Lubavitchers have apparently created an entirely new construct of “post-acharon” to justify not learning acharonim. The rest of us don’t have this.
Excluding everything after (and presumably also) the Taz means you don’t learn Mogein Avraham, Sharei Teshuvah, Mishnah Berurah, Chasam Sofer, any musar, any other Chassidus, Aruch HaShulchan, Chayei Adam, Ben Ish Chai, or any other acharonim that us consider to be mainstream Yiddishkeit.
P.S. if you’re saying the the age of “acharonim” ends with the Taz, you’re talking about an “era” of at most 100 years. Do you realize how ridiculous that is, or are you just that brainwashed?
