<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">Actually my original kasheh occurred to me
during that recent daf yomi you refer to in Sanhedrin which was when I asked the
same question you pose here. The question I posted on Avodah (basically the same
idea) was just in reference to a previous post here and its remarks – I just did
not feel the need to broaden the kasheh – perhaps I should have, just to be more
comprehensive.</FONT></DIV>
