GAW – I don’t think I disagree with you, but please don’t put R’ H. Shechter in the same category as those other *#&!* you mentioned. Don’t call him a Gadol (whatever that is), but that was a bit much.
OK, so who decides what? Why is R’ Norman (the Rosh HaYeshiva of YU/RIETS) any different than R’ Elya (the former Rosh Hayeshiva of Philly) any different than R’ Avi Wiess (The Rosh HaYeshiva of YCT)? Is it the hat size? Club size (Hamavin Yovin)? What?
