Just to quibble

Many Ortho's have made wholesale changes to nusach.  Too many to even list.
An Ortho working as educational director in a C shul told me that he could
not understand the hypocrisy of attacking C changes in Nusach when  many
ortho's have done it, too. I must confess, I had no answer - except to
become a student of the history of authentic nusach


Disclaimer:, I am in no way endorsing the C position as Halchially OK on
this issue  but as far as stam yeinam goes, there is SOME wiggle room here
and even the Rema opened the door on this with a radical Teshuva.  AIUI a
lot of commercial wine is precessed w/o human contact at certain critical
times.
