Too quota definitely hit maximum today. Naturally on my day off when I'm trying to rest - but I am sorting/deleting/banning IPs right now.

Normality should return. Any newbie's signing up had BETTER contribute something, as I am watching each and every new member for trouble makers.

Sorry you had to deal with all that shit while you traveling and now recuperating. Try to get some rest, dude.

dude, your taking this well!! thanks for coming back,, sallee...... your posting like an echo

Literally!

Thanks Andrew & rest up.. you deserve some time off!

Thank's for all the hard work. Too bad you had to worry about all this BS and take time away from your prep on the big Journey interview's and news.

Thanks Andrew, don't know how you keep your sanity here

Lmaooooo Larry ! Yeah, I know I sound like an echo !

Hey Andrew,
Hope I'm not one of the tools -- I just didn't understand the point of that stuff. Glad it's gone.

I needed a new hammer anyway. Tools are fun.

No Gibby, you seem to have something to offer, thnak you.

As for my sanity - slowly slipping away...

Thank You Sir Wombat.

I do hope you get to relax and enjoy your
life a bit more soon.
This time around I was good and didn't get involved
at all.......of coarse that could have something to do
with the fact that I was away all day

Your the best Andrew and I am glad you continue
to keep the Melodic boat a float, spank ya Sir!

Andrew...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...THANK YOU for having the best place to discuss Journey, on the planet. I lurked here for a very long time (several years) before ever joining. I thought this place was a bit over the top for me and thought "the official Journey site" was the place to discuss Journey and actually get news pertaining to Journey. I'm glad I finally came to my senses! Do people get out of line here? Absolutely! Do you allow people to say what's on their minds without censoring every damn word they type? Absolutely! Do you try to let the members of this site police themselves and behave like human beings should behave? Absolutely!

At the end of the day, you're never going to make everyone happy. There will always be a group of people who don't like the way you run this website. My message to anyone who truly isn't happy with this site is to simply not post here any longer. I was no longer happy with the "Tiger Beat" direction that BT was taken in and stopped posting on that website. It's not that complicated, folks! If you don't like the board, go find another board more to your liking. If you don't like the subject matter of a particular post, here's an idea...stay the hell out of that post! If I see a posting that has a subject that doesn't interest me, I simply don't go into said post. What a novel concept, eh? Thanks again for not allowing this site to disintegrate into a place where there are nothing but "positive vibe" postings! I'll take Deano's colorful language over that mindless shit any day of the week!

Thanks John.

Appreciate the post.

Andrew...you might want to stop announcing your trips and vacations...they seem to target in on you when they know you are out. Tools are a pain in the ass... thank you so much for weeding out the bozos and keeping our home here fun.

Andrew, Thank you so much for all you do.First, for always keeping it straight here and the sanity well that's another subject, lol.But at least thank you for this Journey forum, if we didn't have it well I think we would all be lost souls for sure.Try and rest up,We have a big week ahead of us.You writing and all of us reading and analzying it all out.Once again, Journeywoman

John, hope you don't mind if I say me too to your post.. It is so beautifully written and I so agree with it. I feel really bad for Andrew and all he has to deal with along with all the great work he does for us and all the interviews we are about to receive and all the good news he has for us...Lets all hope he keeps this board up and running..

Andrew it's not ur fault at all. U poor thing having to see all that & dig thru it when ur trying to have a day w/the family. I hope u can have some rest time. U do a wonderful job. U have the best site on the kind of music I like w/the most up to date news around, the best interviews & the best Journey forum too. Not only that but ur one heck of a nice guy who is very tolerant. Now, please get get quality time w/ur lovely family this weekend.

PS: "Someone" told me in a PM it seemed like I was disrespecting you earlier in macca's thread & I just want to apologize if u also took what I said that way. It wasn't meant as disrespect at all. But it's often hard to interpret the written word so just in case u took it that way too, I'm really very sorry.

(Dave, was I a good girl here?)

Yeah, ya did fine. I know I have certainly learned from this! But I guess you didn't need to say "someone"...

Sarcasm again Dave.

Where's that sarcasm smiley. I need it bad.

Yo Andrew!, JR, and all

Sentiments from my"change of tone" thread still remain... We should all strive to keep the "over the top" stuff to a minimum, with respect to abusing our fellow posters...newbie or otherwise.... "self-policing" if you will.....

Apologies to Andrew, for keeping him way too busy locking and deleting.. sorry dude!!

"respect" is my new watch word here ... I would urge others to follow that line too... friendly banter is fine.. but I realise that the dark stuff has no place here.... ok Im outta the pulpit now... rock on!!

Let this place go to hell.
You just worry about getting those interviews up.

what he said.. I am looking forward to those interviews!!


OMG I agreed with TNC... HELP ME...

Sorry for this:

It's too bad that a few assholes make Andrew waste his time actually moderating this forum.

Thanks for dealing with the shit, Andrew...running this forum must be a huge pain in the ass sometimes.
