Because when OT crap like politics and religion get on this list they tend to drown out the members asking questions and looking for help about topics that this list was created for. I often make rules that move subject lines straight to the trash, but the more of the OT crap you let on here without saying anything about the more is going to show up.
And the bottom line is that I really don't care about the political views of anyone on this list other than my own. If I want to talk politics or religion I'll talk with my friends or find a venue created for that.
