Very enjoyable enlightening thread.
Lightbrite, your point is well taken, but your conclusion is flawed.
The only conclusion that logically follows your premise is that Yeshiva bochurim are retaining their inner spirituality and not letting the kedusha be drawn out to the impure world.
But my favorite post was from yeshivishe kup. Mr yehivishe kup, I think it’s just great that someone with your name would comment on punkt this thread. And as the bearer of that name, yours is the opinion that carries the most weight.
