<DIV>If you type your own thoughts, then typing requires Birchas Hatorah.
If you are a secretary taking dictation, then I suppose typing would not require
BH. If you /have/ a secretary who types your Avodah posts for you and you
give her dictation, then it would be like teaching (as opposed to thinking) and
I guess teaching requires BH. BTW /does/ your secretary type your Avodah
posts for you? If I had to be a secretary that's the kind of job I'd
want.<BR></DIV></FONT></DIV>
