Oomis,
Understood, you make a very good point. However, often people post here a halacha as halachah peshutah, to mattir that which is, at the very least, controversial. As much as we’d like to think that people are intelligent, discriminatory and honest enough not to follow a halacha they found posted online, I’m sure many people do. I also, as I explained to Syag, don’t necessarily think that anyone who posts something in the name of a posek is quoting him correctly, or for that matter is really quoting a qualified posek.
Please take anything I post here as my own opinion, backed up, as much as I can, by traceable sources and, hopefully, sound sevara, but of course, one should follow a psak they have received from a legit posek, not my opinion or that of any anonymous poster.
