BP Totty-
I appreciate that you read through my post and didnt get defensive. (as some other posters here did) Thank you for taking my point to heart.
Of course I respect the working part of the Torah community. My own father, who I think is one of the greatest people out there is a working professional, who also happens to be a talmid chacham.
We are all here on Earth to accomplish the same thing. We all believe in the same Torah and try our hardest to live by it. Its ok for each person to have a different derech towards their goal.
