Yichusdik & Yekke – I apologize that I did not have an opportunity to reply to your critiques of my post right away. I have been wanting to do so ever since I saw your posts, but I wanted to make sure that I did so only when I had the opportunity to really think carefully about how I phrased things so that I would not make the same mistakes as before.
First of all, I did not, chas v’shalom, mean any disrespect towards Rav Noach Weinberg, zatsal, and I greatly apologize if anything I wrote sounded that way. That was certainly not my intention, and I am certainly not on the level to be able to do so (nor is anyone else, for that matter).
I will try to explain what my point was, and I hope that I do a better job this time.
