Thanks for keeping me up to date Vail! The holiday season is like this: stress, stress, stress, and by the way did I mention a little more stress! I am not a shopper, I would go to the mall and shopping centers more often if they would let me taze unrullly shoppers! I was once in Wally World minding my own business, doing some shopping and a woman came and started tossing my stuff around and was going to take my cart! What is wrong with people these days.

		HA!!!!! Speaking of which, I have to buy a couple of Christmas presents for family members. It's kinda funny, though. One holiday frenzy ends, and another begins.  Here is the breaking news for today about the U.K. Tour: www.judaspriest.com/news/fullstory.asp      spapad wrote:   No, I did not.

I do not think it will ever cease to amaze me how one member can make an off-handed comment and our entire group goes into a state of semi-hysteria!  Additionally, while I do not know who our imposter friend actually is, I can concur with his/her repeated posts; Murray is NOT closing the Board! HA!!!!!!!!!!!! Come now, folks! We all know what rumors can do. Ye GODS!!!

How many of you remember the "Shut-Down Rumor of '05"?? Or the "Site will Close Rumor" of '06?  HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON!! Until Murray himself actually posts such a statement ON HIS WEBMASTER Thread, I can guarantee you there is NO one particular member with the power to close this site, REGARDLESS of their distaste for it or what we say on a daily basis!

Over the last few years, we have had complaints about non-Priest related conversation. We have had complaints about idiots that come here solely to cause trouble. We have had complaints about imposters. We have had complaints about stalkers. The list goes on and on. NONE of this has given Murray a reason to close the site. Why? Because this Board belongs to JUDAS PRIEST. It is a business vehicle in that they use it to keep fans updated on their shows, latest news, CDs, etc.  It is part of doing business as a professional music group.

We have endured so much here and always come out stronger. We have had our fair share of morons and we even have members that disagree with others. Geee whiz!  A difference of opinion!?!?! WOW!!  I fear that is part of life, my friends. Deal with it. Let's place the panic button back in our drawer and enjoy the holidays! We have a whole new year ahead with MORE excellent Priest music to come!  2009 is going to ROCK!!!!!!
