From: David Sher <sher> Within the past few months I have sent out some messages asking if there was any other sephard on the net besides Mr. Martillo. I have received no response. Hence, I can only conclude that Mr. Martillo is the only Sephardic Jew that reads and submits to net.religion.jewish . In light of this, one must realize that the bombastic and insulting tone of his commentary results from being the lone defender of Sephardic Judaism. One should not dismiss Mr. Martillo's commentary as I have been tempted to many times but one should read it taking into account the ingrained cultural predjudices against which he strives alone. -- -David Sher sher@rochester seismo!rochester!sher
