How old is a tradition?

[Ayin McFye]

(Also note: the first posts of this thread was from mid-2005. I wonder if the thoughts of the early posters has changed, remained the same, or been reinforced.)

I agree. I would like to see some of the original members who posted to this forum 2 years ago reply to see if they still hold their views to be the same.

I have a side note i'd like to ask regarding this topic.

If one person starts a tradition and does it for 10 years and does it on a daily basis, and then someone sees them doing that "tradition" and does it for 5 years, does the person doing it for only 5 years have any less right to that tradition?
