“I have a feeling that most people here don’t care to read a thread like this, so I really appreciate it when people do.”
Well that’s not very Avraham like ;}
I think lots of people here read these threads but they don’t require a response so you don’t get the zchus of knowing about it. I appreciate the different perspective, it is always amazing to me to hear something new on a story that I thought I knew so well. And if you came up with that yourself then Kol HaKavod.
