Avodah discussions aren't lemaaseh. Lemaaseh, you need to ask poseqim,
etc... And when you are deciding lemaaseh, the authority of who you're
relying on matters.

What would be more interesting for me (speaking as a poster, not the mod)
would be a discussion of why the kosher certifiers at al don't hold like
the IM. Not cynical reasons, like it would mean far less business, but
Avodah stuff -- actual discusions of stam keilim einam ben yoman in the
days of production lines, bitual lechatkhilah al yedei nachriim, etc...

Tir'u baTov!
