<DIV>Stupid?!? Is that an argument, or, indeed, is that an
appropriate word to use in civilized discourse? In any event, I'm not
aware that R. Schechter has the final say on these matters. Those who
follow him might not want to participate in this discussion or even read the
postings on it. That, of course, is their prerogative. But there
are other positions within the halachic community that see things
differently from R. Schechter on these matters, and for those in the Avodah
community who follow leaders who take those positions, the discussion is
anything but stupid.</DIV>
