I rather like the idea that there are several headings for music related threads but only one possibility for non-music threads. Without being a control freak and trying to tell others what they should or should not be writing it is a site with a focus on folk and blues music. It is therefore reasonable that there should be more dicrimination for heading threads within that focus. Other stuff is other stuff, it may be important and worthy of discussion but if its not folk or blues its still other stuff. I have the options both of not reading it and of not posting it.
