It was not meant to tell people what to do or to look down at anyone (chas vshalom) for working on these days - I'm sure there are plenty of valid heterim (reasons to be lenient). For anyone who was in any way offended I would like to offer my sincere apologies. My article was in response to Andy Tannenbaum's statement that Purim was a day that one should NOT take off for - I was simply objecting to that statement which he presented as fact and was presenting evidence to the contrary. Happy Purim to everyone, Nemi (pegasus!lzpfc!klein)
