Syag: smerel’s sentiment here is generally the same as my own. So is noyb, tlik and Abba, in addition, of course, to Avira. In previous discussions on this issue many other posters agreed with my points on this topic. Most notably, I think, is Milhouse who is a longtime poster here and a venerable Talmid Chochom who consistently agreed with virtually every aspect of all my halachic comments on this issue. Butei Dinim do pasken like this. Additionally, I indeed have discussed this issue personally with various Rabbonim, Dayanim and Talmidei Chachomim who share the same halachic conclusions I’ve cited here.
Now I can’t disagree with you that perhaps a “majority” of internet posters strongly disagree with our halachic citations on this issue. But when you realize that a majority of internet posters, even on “Orthodox” sites, are non-learned and/or teens and/or girls and women, who never learned these halachas yet feel highly qualified to comment (based on their gut feelings) on a subject they’re unlearned halachicly in, it easily explains why a “majority” of internet posters disagree.
