<DIV>By "all" I meant BALM and BALC. I didn't mean "all" as in: only one
Jew in a million is frum. I put in the word "basically" as a weasel word
to indicate that I meant to say that a frum person is one who in
theory keeps all TARYAG mitzvos but maybe in reality doesn't really actually
keep every single mitzva one hundred percent. "Basically" was
kind of a giveaway that I mean to say, basically.</DIV>

<DIV>Beli neder I am now undertaking not to respond to any further posts on this
thread unless I have something significantly new to say. I know that
will be a departure from the norm for A. Avodah and B. me.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>PS I am already weaseling out of my undertaking because there is a
post in my "send later" folder that I never finished and I may read it and
decide that I do want to send it. But after THAT.....beli neder.</DIV>
