[Avodah] Who wrote Megillas Esther?

[Micha Berger]

The topic drifted back to an old perennial -- are Chazal's historical
pronouncements part of "mesorah" and were they meant as literal historical
statements to begin with?

(With that connection made explicit, the long-timers here can fill in
what the others are going to say, and we can skip actually saying it.

... and the third old man on the porch said "42", but no one laughed.
"You have to know how to tell it.")

Tir'u baTov!
-Micha
