I think I have to agree. I appreciate Kate for the art she gives us, but
I also think that her private life is her own. If she doesn't want to 
tour, then I can always keep my fingers crossed.

I'm sure that she has a regular fan club which has more members than talk 
in this newsgroup. If they have regular contact with Kate, then surely
this would be a more private way in which to work on her touring rather
than a billboard. 

I'm hoping the billboard is not really serious because to be blunt - it would
piss me off.

As for her house, I always thought she lived in a world other than our own.

Ken.
