Mod – Except that we tend to confuse a necessary abstention for the times with halacha l’maseh. If the Shulchan Aruch didn’t forbid it and it wasn’t picked up by k’lal yisroel as a group, it is a minhag that only that particular group may feel a need to follow. There is absolutely no inyan to pick up and follow minhagim that your family going back doros did not have. Adaraba, what does it say about your ancestors that they did not follow that particular minhag that you have chosen to follow, that they were not frum enough? Not so poshet is right.
