Was the Nesivos was excited that Reb Akiva Eiger brought him in his teshuvos? Reb Meir Simcha because he's quoted in the Mishna Berura? I would say the same logic would apply here.
ReplyDeleteIt may be my katnus d'mochin, but in the early '80's I had an extensive correspondence with the Rivevos, and thought none of it was published, so I was very pleasantly surprised when this popped up!
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not katnus hamochin, what I meant was that it could be reasonably asserted that your stature is such that you and the Rivevos are, for citational authority, despite the age difference, peers.
