all dues respect I find this attitude naive. Journals like the Journal<BR>of
Halacha and Contemporary Society, R. Bleich's halacha articles in<BR>Tradition
etc and volumes in Hebrew like Techumim quickly bring sensitive<BR>issues in
shutim to the greater public. ...<BR>Similarly responsible rabbis realize that
something said to<BR>individuals or a small<BR>group can easily spread if it
controversial enough. As the gemara says even<BR>the birds can bring the
stories. <<<BR>-- <BR>Eli Turkel</FONT></DIV><FONT

tekallel, uvechadrei mishkavcha al tekallel ashir -- ki ohf hashamayim yolich es
hakol, uva'al kenafayim yagid davar." A bird will carry your secrets far
and wide -- the walls have ears.</FONT></DIV>

size=2>HOWEVER I do not think this applies to the question of what is the best
forum for publishing halachic discourse. After all, even if a given psak
is only meant for a particular individual or a small group, it is not going to
be a hush-hush secret!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Koheles is talking more about expressing negative thoughts and feelings
against people in positions of power who could cause you a lot
of harm if they found out that you wish them ill.</DIV>
