Because there I'm the moderator and can decide what's on or
not on topic.

Not controversial subjects per se - only flame-likely ones.
It's a judgment call. Sometimes I get it wrong. Sometimes I
also put in little digs to see who will catch (nobody ever
does; despite its self-puffery as the most important (possibly)

average intelligence of the membership is probably considerably
less than the average intelligence here - just the affluence
level is higher.

That's saying a lot. But light exposure damage isn't linear
to lumens or watt-hours; there are a lot of other factors.
