[Avodah] Consumer Alert: Minhog Scams On The Rise!

[Saul.Z.Newman at kp.org]

>>>My point is that it is the nature of customs to develop and change over 
time. In fact, it could be argued that if the nature of a given society 
changes, then it *needs* to change its minhagim as well.

---if true, it's not clear to me the objective criterion on when to raise 
the threat of cherem, calumny etc  to new minhagim/practices. in  the past 
, people remarked that custom that develops from non-jewish [and maybe 
today we would add non-frum]  pracitces would be objectionable.  but then 
anything within the corpus of frum minhagim should be ok.

let me ask this. i know in some DL communities , the nusach haShatz  is 
determined by teh Shatz  [  ie   nakdishach for shacharis may be folowed 
by naaritzcha for mussaf].  has any shul in chu'l adopted this practice?
