Because I like talking to people who love Philosophy.
i can live with that 
edit: hey that sounds like philosophy to me!!! 
of my experience,we can never learn more about modern philosophy than at ILP. the rest is outdated. but serves the present understanding.
I retract my question. After being at ILP for a few months, I have met many who know as much about philosophy, or maybe more, than I do. My primary reaction was to some first acquaintances. Also, I’m not as stodgy as I may sometimes appear. Good philosophy does not always heve to rely on academic precedents. A new idea can blow me away!!!
Smooth,
On the pictures–yummy!!! Was that what you wanted to rouse?
