Lets remain unimployed forever

As the summer and it's subsequent vacations are slowly grinding to an end, which should probaly mean that from now on only those of us who are not in school will be viewing the blog. and this is due to various reasons. A. the older "school children' are away from home and will probably not have very much access to the www. B. the younger 'school children' probably will (iy"h) have so much home worj and then they will help so much around the house that they will never have time to waste on the silly computer, i mean there's dishes to wash and rooms to be swept- c'mon kids get working!
As well as a few other reasons that only those who are kids can understand, like bed time or "no computer on a school night".
So since we are now no longer under the servailance of young innocent eyes lets discuss some importatnt issues.
Issue # 1: Why does Rashi not explain the rule about "Hey"+chataf-patach=a question the first time the Torah does that (ha-hey+chataf-patach-min ha'eitz asher tzivisicha...?) instead Rashi brings it in yesterdays Chitas (so apparently Rashi also learned chitas - - ? ) on Kain's answer to H' when he says, "Ha-hey+chataf-patach-shomer achi anochi. why?
Issue # 2: what could "ze rucho shel mashiach" possibly mean? Is ruach elokim he same thing as Rucho shel mashiach?!
there are a few more issues but they will have to come later on in the year.
thanks for your answers (n the comments section) I truely appriciate them.
