No drama, the sole purpose of the front page is to inform newcomers and it has much more impact than the forums. It would therefore be a good idea to keep the front page professional.If there is not enough factual content for a weekly newsletter, then move to a bi-weekly.
Sorry if it seemed rude but the message wasn't for you and in fact I agree with you, it was a bit strange that mention on the newsletter.
