[Avodah] Two days [was: kitniyot]

[via Avodah]

From: Akiva Miller via Avodah  <avodah at lists.aishdas.org>

>> Even with *ancient*  communications, the whole world knew the correct
date of Rosh Chodesh Nisan  by the time Shavuos arrived. Nine weeks and
one day later, it is  Shavuos.

Rosh Chodesh Iyar is irrelevant. Rosh Chodesh Sivan is  irrelevant. If
you know Rosh Chodesh Nisan, then you know Shavuos. It's  just
arithmetic.

Obviously, uncertainty about R"C Nisan is NOT the  only reason to have
a second day of Shavuos. There must be other reasons too.  ...<<

I think one reason for keeping two days Shavuos is disagreement in the  
mesorah over which exact day the Torah was given.
