And look at the result... there is virtually no lossless sharing anymore.
If you are convinced that every notable and thriving trading community has done wrong by "weeding out, harassing, and censoring mp3 users", then that's truly unfortunate.
They all prefer to see it as preserving quality of recordings, not only for their listening enjoyment, but also to respect the people who created these recordings for them in the first place.
Sharing both lossy and lossless is your attempt at a compromise, which is admirable, but methinks it's a bit too late.
[/QUOTE]It is too late. I don't think this forum will ever change. I hoped this site could become something like the traders' den but then for Queenfans but it will never happen.
I regret that.

For you, it must be truly unfortunate that you do not own this site, and mp3 sharing is allowed here.
You are right, I can not win. However, you are powerless to win as well, as you have no authority at QZ.
By the way mp3 still has a slight pulse on QZ, as my share ratio on the Chicago 82 mp3 is at 13.904 and still rising.

The fact that I don't own this site doesn't make people who support quality preservation any less right.

And the fact that there are still ignorant people downloading mp3 also doesn't make people who support quality preservation any less right.

quality preservation = spectral analyzer.
However, keep pursuing your evil hunt of mp3-ers when other more reasonable options exist. Those mp3-ers are subhuman and deserve to die.
You and Jerry Falwell must be twins, as you both lead sects of the moral majority.

lol! You're comparing the quality of recordings to Jerry Falwell now?

I actually think Gym Bitch has done the best thing for all parties here. The FLAC fans get the quality and the "ignorant people" (or perhaps those with download caps or low download speeds) get to hear the music and play it in their MP3 players without having to use up all their bandwidth or convert it themselves.
As long as the message to not convert MP3 back to FLAC gets through, and it will only really be rogue traders who would do that, nobody gets harmed.

Let's compare the moral majority dogma to your dogma ...
Some issues for which the Moral Majority campaigned included (see below link):[4]
outlawing abortion
opposition to state recognition and acceptance of homosexuality
opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment and Strategic Arms Limitation Talks
enforcement of a traditionalist vision of family life
censorship of media outlets that promote what it labeled as an 'anti-family' agenda
Your dogma:
Outlawing mp3 on QZ
Opposition to recognition and acceptance of mp3
Enforcement of your militant trader's vision of flac sharing
Censorship of Queenzone (which allows mp3 sharing) that promotes what you label as an 'anti-lossless agenda

My two cents...
Back in the day I would wear a smile for a week at getting some crappy 9th generation VHS tape of a queen show that I didn't have before and I treasured it.
I kinda miss those days, it's too easy now.
I think everyone needs to chill a bit and appreciate what we've got going on here.

Gym Bitch... you have simply lost your mind if you're labeling anything in this discussion as dogma, and comparing audio recordings to Jerry Falwell and the moral majority. You can argue all you want. Nobody is listening anymore.

Thats rich from someone who circulated mp3 origin shows in trades and wrongly claims to be the source of shows comming from tapers and traders we all know. Come off your high horse, Robert, you dont fool us. Learn some respect yourself.

I will admit that I did circulate a few mp3-sourced recordings at least five years back, before I learned the difference between lossy and lossless. We all had to learn at some point.
I didn't record any of the shows myself, but as far as I know, I circulated the recordings I mentioned in that list a couple weeks back throughout this community and/or elsewhere. I'm happy to be corrected on any of them in the event that other collectors did the same, so feel free to do so.

Why must you all exaggerate? User, can't you see, that SirGH has admitted his mistakes and has learned from it? He has learned so much from it, that his attitude in terms of sharing (don't know abot trading) Queen recordings is widely accepted. Everyone can see that, why not you? And GymBitch, I hope that you just like to make fun of us, because, if your posts are meant seriously, you are definitely sick.
The censorship practices of Sir GH's Moral Majority, Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority, and the Nazi's are hauntingly similar.
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,924691-3,00.html
"There is, for instance, the cheerily incendiary attitude expressed by the Rev. George A. Zarris, chairman of the Moral Majority in Illinois. Says Zarris: "I would think moral-minded people might object to books that are philosophically alien to what they believe. If they have the books and feel like burning them, fine."
The notion of book burning is unthinkable to many and appalling to others, if only because it brings to mind the rise of Adolf Hitler's Germany — an event marked by widespread bon fires fed by the works of scores of writers including Marcel Proust, Thomas Mann, H.G. Wells and Jack London."

User has no intention of sharing anything. He is having a great time building up his ego by saying:
"I have something that you can not have because you are not worthy."
He is having a great time being called a "hoarder" by Sir GH, and belittling Sir GH's ancient sins of accidentally sharing mp3 sourced recordings 5 years ago.
Still, User is not all bad, at least he is not trying to ban mp3's on QZ
