I realize that, but this can be made clear in BOLD LETTERS at the top of the page in a manner similar to that banning political discussion for the holidays. The non-political/non-psych threads are often an opportunity for enlightenment....Just one example: The thread on self-driving cars overrode my fear of the new technology when it was pointed out that it will allow older folks to drive & maintain their independence in their later years. The blind will also be able to utilize this technology in time. The the thread changed my outlook on an emerging technology. Again, it temporarily took my mind off matters dark if only for a few minutes. If I'm to dwell on the fact that I have a MI/bipolar disorder all the time I might as well shoot myself now...(hyperbole)
Thanks for this!
