Hi QA.

You are doing a fantastic job.

I know how it feels when people don`t seem to appriciate the work you do. Personally I would expect on a Queen forum, that most people were friendly and helpful, but some people in here (as anywhere else on the planet) are stupid, childish and thoughtless twats.

Forget them, and keep up the good work. As the song says: "No time for losers". Don`t let them stop you, ignore their silly comments, and don`t let them waist your time. Those kind of people don`t deserve an answer from you!

It is a good thing to be kind, but I once realised that not everyone has got common sense, so I stopped waisting good mood on those people.

You know, when you give someone the little finger, sometimes they will take the whole hand away from you. They will steal your energy, and dry you out. Don`t let that happen to yourself!


It is a great idea to try and seek information from fans. A great opportunity to gather history that will be interesting for Queen fans in the future, (books, movies, documentaries, etc).

Cheers!

Best wishes

M.

Paul... you don't quite understand. For some reason you are not able to fully comprehend the complex things I said and fundamental points I made. It's not your fault, so don't worry about it. One day, soon, you WILL understand what I'm driving at, so don't feel bad. You just take care and look after yourself, young man.

You did very well there though, so well done you.

Ta very much.

Splendidly said.

Greg,you need a PR-agent who will answer all those crappy questions, so you can spend all your time dusting off all the recordings of false notes that those chaotic and lazy Queenies threw in the basement without labeling it first.

You know... I'm going to admit to something...

If I spend the time I spent writing things such as this, and other stuff tonight, on answering real proper questions, I would conceivably be a much more liked person. It is true.

More of you would be more likely to say nicer things, and not side with each other at every opportunity to have another Go at me - trying to make me cry.

There would be fewer beastly personal observations about my mum, dad, sister, pets, etc, etc, and, I guess, rather less death threats and threats to set fire to me, and have me tortured, and my wife (though I don't have one of those), and so forth.

Yes, it's true, to a small or large extent I control my own destiny in terms of QZ profile - such as it is.

But... being honest... how bored would YOU get if you were expected to answer the same questions every other week? Be honest? How boring would you find that? How EAGER and ENTHUSED could you remain?

And if you WERE nice, sometimes, and did answer some of the more intelligent and original and well thought out considered questions, but still you saw those frequent anal entrance QZ-er being insulting and personal... how long do you think you would bother being 'helpful'?

ALSO... let's continue the honestly...I really DO enjoy pissing the odd person off. Why? Because some of you guys go out of your way to be nasty to me, and so I like to feel, in my mind, that I redress the balance a bit. Allow me my little amusement, please!

It's like 'escapism' for me sometimes. I come here, occassionally it's true, NOT to learn profound new things about Queen, or to be bowled over by new-found data that will leave me speechless, but to stir things up a bit - just exactly the same as you guys like to... SOME OF YOU... NOT all of you. I'm no different.

I can't face answering AGAIN the same old tired shagged out and knackered questions on the Anthology, Freddie box, what's in the archive, what do we do all day - and do Queen know I swear and use bad words apparently in their name. I have done this to death a hundred thousand times over 10 years. it's more interesting for me to get up Zebonka's giant nose, and the rest of the Antagonisers on this site. You can surely understand that.

I thought if I stated some obvious things, it might explain things that seem to escape many people's notice here... obvious though I thought these things are, or should be to anyone with a brain up top.

I still can't sleep.

I will now invite your intelligent and considered responces. And equally your inane and not very profound words.

In the case you mean it seriously a few tips :

- if somebody writes that you've done a misstake, it's enough to say something like "sorry, I've done a misstake, I'm only a human"
- put a "frequently asked questions" section on some web, and if somebody ask you the same question which you have already answered, put a link to that section as your reply
- start a blog. Honestly, it's fun to read most of your posts


BTW have you ever replied to the question "when will we queenmoaners get our anthology" ? Or don't you know ?
I'm sorry, I HAD to ask
