Sorry, nothing specific about RMBlum's here, it's just that I'm seeing
a lot of something lately on Avodah and felt a need to speak up.

RRW already explained his position based on a Tosafos. Reiterating that
the Rambam disagrees doesn't change his ability to hold like Tosafos
(fellow Ashkenazim, no less). Someone else did this recently when I
replied to something on kol kevudah according to the Rambam and the
Chasam Sofer by reposting something by RMTorczyner based on Rashi.
And that writer too felt a need to reiterate his sources.

I'm wondering why that is. Has "we can be meyasheiv the shitos" become
so commonplace that we think that if someone reaches a different
conclusion based on a different rishon, it's not just the preexisting
machloqes? Or is it bedavka the Rambam, because the Yad is so easy to
use (particularly for email addicts), that we're turning into Teimanim?

:-)BBii!
