I'm pleased to hear that such an apparently off-topic thread as medicine and the Talmud turns out to have psychological content. But to call my comment "concern" is misplaced. I was actually being facetious (note the :-) for once from me), as I've always been in favour of wide-ranging discussion on TIPS. Here in Quebec we may have language police, but on TIPS we don't need relevancy police. In fact, I think I probably like the off-topic stuff the best. I remember fondly the tussles we used to have over the relative merits of religion and science, until the prime defender of the faith picked up his marbles and left. Those were the good old days on TIPS. We should also recognize the role of the irrepressible Michael Sylvester. He's inevitably the one who starts these novel threads, as he did this one with his searching question on whether Jews believe in vaccination. Disclaimer: Nothing in this e-mail should be construed as encouragement for the posting practices of M. Sylvester. It probably will, though.
