Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." 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 ...
Very smart layout. Kol hakavod.
ReplyDeleteshkoyach. I thought the parchment backround look was apt
ReplyDeleteHi Eli,
ReplyDeleteI like the new look. It gives it a much warmer and pleasant feeling. Keep up the good work.
As we know, the pictures in my previous posts have all but vanished. This ocured when I closed my Google email account a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, as we have learned, whatever picture one posts on the Forum, they are never formally uploaded to the website in the same manner as the text is. Instead, they reside within a parallel Google/Picasa account (even if one doesn't have one) and only appear on the Forum via a web-link. Therefore, if one closes a google email account linked to the posts, whatever pictures one has placed on the Forum will also disappear with it.
Question, as the Site's administrator, are you able to edit any of the previous posts, or is this something which the architecture of the site does not allow? Please let me know. Perhaps I can email you copies of the previous missing pictures for them to be reposted. Thanks!
Alberto,
Deletegood to hear from you, I was worried what happened to your pictures {I was afraid it might happen to mine}. B"H it was something external, I coudn't figure out how that happened.
Eli keep up the great work on this forum, thanks
Thanks Moshe,
DeleteIt's good to be back. With the close of my other Google email account, I wasn't able to log unto the Forum + the pics vanished! I have learned the lesson: "If ever in the need to restructure your Google email accounts don't ever close one of them." Whatever pictures you may have posted on any blog will automatically vanish with them. The worst thing is that, there is absolutely nothing one can do! : )
