I have been supressing this for about two months but have decided
to get it off my chest ---

My distinct impression is that Mr Martillo should not be taken as
an authority on Sephardi Ashkenazi history, customs, background, etc.
Although I admit I am unable to provide specifics (I will try to
check my sources if asked),  I disagree with nearly everything he
says --- not so much that his facts are incorrect because they may
be true--- but his interpretation of them and philosophy surrounding
them is decidedly warped.

I post this mainly as a way of saying  HEY NETLAND not everyone (and I
almost want to say no one...) agrees with what Mr. Martillo is saying.
He presents many things as being true and universally accepted when
many are neither.

It pains me to see a fellow Jew informing the world of much that is 
nonsense.
