If you are not a Rabbi - please don't give halachic advice or state halacha - even if you do it in the guise of helping people. If you have an opinion that relates to halacha, please ask YOUR Rav and if he agrees then put the comments on the list with his name on it. Writing that you are not a Rabbi and that people should consult their Rav is not enough. There were two issues raised and both were not presented fully and might bring people who don't eat Kitniyos to do so. </span><div>
