Chuck, Please check the archives I believe you will find the subject of whats on topic has been discussed at length in the past. In fact, if memory serves Dale the keeper of the rules, has allowed "Torchbearers" - keepers of the flame to also be on topic. We may be walking a tightrope here with some of this, but looks to me like we're talking to and about these guys and why what they do keeps the flame burning.
