And they're still not on topic.  *None* of the sources quoted give
any support to your position, they are simply red herrings.  Your reliance
on the authority of modern English articles does not impress me or anyone
else.  You can torture the Rashi all you like but it still won't say what
you would like it to.  The fact remains that there is no mention of any
such halacha in any source of halacha lemaaseh, which is *not* English
articles by modern rabbis.  If an issur or a chiyuv exists, it must be
mentioned somewhere, and the plain fact is that it isn't.  You admit that
it isn't, because you try to extract it from strange diyukim.  Imagine
if I claimed that an issur shabbos that nobody had ever heard of rested
on such diyukim.  Your basic tactic remains that of begging the question.
You mistranslate the words "dina demalchusa dina", giving them a meaning
that the Aramaic language will not support, and which has no support in
any of the examples the gemara gives, and then every time those words
appear you point to them as support for your position.
