Encouraging signs...

Since launching this forum a little over 24 hours ago, I am pleased to say that there have been almost 300 page views from something like 40 computers from  around the world. I personally sent the link to a few dozen of my contacts whom I felt would be interested, however I'm sure there are many more people who would be interested in a site like this. I encourage you to forward a link to this site to any persons you feel may be interested, the more people involved, the more beneficial it will be for all.

We are very fortunate to have Rabbi Moshe Weiner involved in this forum. Reb Moshe is a tremendous talmid chacham and he has been of invaluable assistance to me over the years in answering many difficult shailos. Feel free to post shailos for him to answer and that way your shailos can be viewed by all. In such a way we can all gain shimush and experience.

Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן  that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that  דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.  Nor are we interested in those who said to use  עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
