The Magical Ingredient

I think I've found the magical ingredient for generating tons of comments on LJ, at least among my friend- circle, and it is very simple-

Talk about head-covering and/or ritual-wear and gender.

I guess people with those interests tend to congregate.

I think other halakhic concerns might get close- so, here's one I need to do some research into- what has the status of a shoe, and the acceptability going barefoot during (davening on) Yom Kippur.

It was better for me than flip-flops that somehow put my feet in a funky position that really bugged my knees right away. Really, my feet only started getting sore towards the end of neilah, which is pretty impressive, considering that we were davening from 8:30-2 and 4:30 to 7:45ish, and I was standing barefoot for much of that time.
