the previous "guest" post is mine. I forgot to identify myself!

By the way, I stand corrected on something I wrote previously.I recently found out that there are reputable Torah Authorities who posit that Talmudic law does differentiate between glazed China and earthenware, and the community affected has been advised to clarify this with their local Orthodox Rabbi. (It is a very large community full of hundreds of Orthodox congregations and practicing rabbis).

Although I'm sure I will be tempted, I do not intend to post again. Best of luck to all of you, and enjoy your website!!
