Legal to sell Chametz on-line

[Smuckatelli]

Leading halachic authorities have ruled that online authorizations are acceptable for the purpose of selling chametz. The traditional and preferred practice, however, is for the authorization transaction to be done in person with the local rabbi.

All you all that have beer, you can FedEx it to me today.....I'm only offering this because I want to help you out for Pesach....which begins tomorrow.  ;)

You'll have to pry my beer from my cold dead hands, chametz or not.

Eating grains at all is stupid but i make allowance for the floating bread that is beer. ;)

My wife emailed the chametz sale form to Chabad. Don't think chametz can be emailed, unless you're in a virtual world.

Chag Sameach (happy holiday).

Grains were the products of agriculture eons ago that allowed early humans to gather together
and develope a funky little thing called 'civilization'. Perhaps you've heard of it? Without it you'd
Be huddled, naked and starving, in a cave somewhere, unable to gather up your nuts and berries
or tasty grubs because the pointy stick you'd gnawed for self defense was no match for the ten foot
Ursine outside.

^ yes, but it was grown by women. So maybe inherent chauvinism is at work here.

Are you saying that grains are the Neolithic equivalent of Blood Diamonds then? It's also possible that
when Bo the Hunter Gatherer asked his wife along on the 10-foot Cave Bear hunting trip her response
was "No way! I'm too busy growing Einkorn and related single-row Cereal crops to go have fun hunting
things with teeth the size of my thumb that can bite through 10 cm of solid pine. No, I'll stay here and
toil for your porridge and ferment some of it for my own use. Just leave that notarized copy of your Will
right over by the Venus figurine on my medicine shelf. Bye now, love ya Hon!"

I think there is a Dan Brown conspiracy here somewhere.

Grain was grown.... BY WOMEN! OMG, MEN SUPPRESSED THIS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS!

And that's why Chametz can now be sold on the internet.
