Spike, since you made the sweeping generalization ;)) about this
"far-more-than-average" enlightened group, I would love to know what
it is that makes you (or anyone else) here think this.

To begin with, what do you mean by "enlightened?"

I've mainly been lurking in this group (for over 10 years), but I have
to tell you the thing that's puzzled me the most about this group has
been its lack of diversity - political, gender, and "racial."  This
may be another subject altogether, but it seems to me worth discussing
(and perhaps how this lack of diversity fits into being - or not being
so - "enlightened").
