You know, HIE, I met someone over Yom Tov who reminded me a lot of you.
I met a high schooler who determined that anyone who eats g’brokts on Pesach is not a yarei shamyim, since a *true* yarei shamayim wouldn’t put himself into a position of eating a chasash of chometz on Pesach. When I told him that he was wrong, he told me that I know nothing, that all the gedolim don’t eat g’brokts and he actually called me a “little shnuk” (yes, EXACTLY the term you used — that’s why he reminded me of you) who thinks that I know better than the gedolim.
When I tried to tell him that eating g’brokts is a legitimate minhag, he proceeded to tell me that since I wasn’t wearing a hat, I was obviously not a true ben Torah and therefore knew nothing.
So, I guess the two of you can be me’id about me that I’m only a “little shnuk” and that I know nothing. Fine. Truth be told, since I know that I’m a rasha, an apikorus and have no olam habah*, I guess my opinion doesn’t really matter anyway. So, fine, this shnuk concedes to your vast holy knowledge. I’ll likewise concede in the other thread that we are arguing in. I hereby concede that since I’m just a little shnuk in the opinion of you and others, I must know nothing compared to your vast knowledge and I concede to you that are are a million frum Jews in New York. Want to say there are two million? I’m maskim. Want to say five million? A billion? This “little shnuk” bows before your superior intellect.
