[Avodah] kaddish kashes

[Dov Kay]

>>A side question:  Are the halachos of kadima in kadish actually me'akeiv,
as in, does a shul really *need* to follow them?  It seems that many of
them were kind of arbitrary, to have some kind of system to stop the
fighting in shul.  (Or is that just me being an am ha'aretz and trying to
talk about something I know nothing about?)<<

Some have already quoted RHS in Nefesh HaRav, that the rules of kadima are 
in fact arbitrary.  The AhS says something similar about the rules of kadima 
for aliyos l'Torah, saying these rules have no source in Chazal but have 
been adopted in any event.
