Hmm...I feel like I'm somewhere in the middle between you and the folks who do that. I.e., I don't read it (or rather, don't like it), but I have enough interest in the actors to read them in other roles or read news about them. But then, I think, that's always been a part of any fandom. I mean, it's old school fans who'd probably scream if you suggested RPS who run the actor fan sites, etc., right? Actors at cons have been the staple of sf/f long before RPS became even remotely acceptable...
I guess you'll have to treat the newsletters like you do anything...if there's a category you're not interested in, ignore... [The alternative would be two newsletters which seems less practical to me, even in a fandom like SPN where the RPS definitely holds its own but I doubt that there are SPN RPS fans who aren't SPN fans, so it's a subset...like icon fans or various pairing fans in other fandoms]
I *get* your general issue, but to me practicality wins out... (which doesn't mean that there isn't an issue or tht you shouldn't complsin that/if it bugs you if that makes sense)
...and yes, you're probably right that ewan/hayden or whatever the SPN boys are will stay closely connected...HP RPS did as well. lotrips *is* special! otoh, if it gets big enough to warrant own communities etc somefolks might separate it a bit more (if you only have one lonely fic you may put it in with the FPS, if it's 5 or 10, youmight make them a page of their own...)
