Not sure how this landed on the front page. Seems more appropriate for the forum.

It technically isn't truly on the "home page," it's on the Blog, and Kevin asked me if it could be posted to the blog and I said "Sure." Simple as that. As for being "more appropriate for the forum" I agree with you, but that said, we rely entirely on volunteers for blog content (eg recaps of shows) and it's rare that anyone volunteers to write something "more appropriate" for the blog when the band isn't on tour and there aren't recaps being routinely posted to the blog.

Also I knew Kevin's take would not be well-received by many if not most routine visitors to this website, and the more controversial the opinion expressed in a blog post, the more views and comments it gets (this is always true), which is healthy for the site. A lot of people also do not visit the dot net forum (but only check out setlists and jamcharts etc.) and a lot of forum users (so I'm told) don't even pay attention to the home page or blog unless directed to it. So I figured why not spice up the blog with an obviously controversial "Letter" from user KevinForbin.

You're welcome,
