I snapped this one two summers ago in S. Petersburg . . . I've always had a soft spot for poor translations.

The letters of our thoughts are the ideas present in our mind before they come to realization . . . Thoughts that are, yet not felt . . . The words of the subconscious . . . of the soul . . .
These are the LETTERS OF MY THOUGHTS.

It seems from the comments going up on my latest op-ed on COLlive that many of you have either failed to read my post or bothered to understand it.
As such, I'm writing this hasty blog post on my cell to summarize what my op-ed is really about and what it isn't about:
My points:
1. Be aware that facebook voting gives the company you're 'liking' access to your private info . . . If you're cool with that - by all means vote - but be in the know.
2. Be a mentsch when soliciting votes: don't be obnoxious or lazy. Make it personal and I'll gladly vote.
3. Respect the privacy of others by avoiding sloppy emails and the like.
4. Strategize! Make sure you work together with other shluchim so that your combined voices can best be heard - and be aware that by over-saturating your target audience with too many requests for a plethora of contests - you risk diluting your message and losing your audience when you need them most!
This post is NOT:
-A complaint that you are annoying me . . . Some of the requests I get may be annoying - but I don't need to write an op-ed to let you know that . . . If you annoy me, I'll tell you personally.
-A complaint against the shluchim who participate in these contests.
-An attempt to discourage others that would otherwise willingly vote.
Please re-read my op-ed and if you have any further questions please feel free to leave a comment below!

While speaking with Jacob Berkman from the Fundermentalist Blog several weeks ago, he mentioned Lubavitcher dress styles -
'What's with pointy shoes you guys all wear?' He said . . .
Inspired by his comment, I give you Lubavitcher styles (be they chassidish or frie) that gotta go (in no particular order) . . .
