To Lostman... and QZ'ers generally

GREG, PLEASE PROVIDE US WITH ANY ANSWERS.

And to Queenzoners generally...

Lostman, you sound like a courteous kind of chap, not unlike myself, and thus I didn't want to ignore your post, also not unlike myself. There are others too who've commented and asked reasonable things in the thread I began a week or so ago, but to be candid, I don't feel obliged to respond any more.

It's not that I'm trying to piss anyone off, or tease or irritate, or cover up or, blah blah blah, any of the other things people seriously suggest on this site. I haven't responded to the questions within the post simply because I've genuinely covered 90% of it all in the past, and it largely falls on deaf ears.

So many people on QZ hear (or read into my words) only what they want to, and if what I say is contrary to the common belief, people get all snotty and aggressive. They say im lying. So it's a thankless and largely futile exercise from my pov. Im accused of all kinds of things that are so wide of the mark, it's truly laughable. I choose not to get into those things because inevitably some idiot will say, "he's denying it so we've obviously hit a nerve and there must be some truth in it." Conversely, when I say nothing, that gets your collective backs up too. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. So generally it's best to say nothing and let some of you guys spew out all the silly nonsense you're gonna spew out anyway.... Regardless of anything I try to say. Even the daftest among you can see that's reasonable.... I won't hold my breath.

I know this because I've been there a dozen times in the past.

I don't take things personally, as so many of you seem to think. Still. Web site forums are not worth getting heated or offended over. Admittedly John Stuart used to get me a bit prickly and homicidal back in the day, but be fair here guys, just for a second.... That man could make two monks, a nun, a pope, and a Ghandi man homicidal with the ludicrous stuff he denied and came out with. YOU try having the conversations I've had in the past with that dear boy, only for him to feed you infuriatingly edited highlights on this site, put more spin and twist on it than a twisty spinny thing, distort the facts out of all proportion, and NOT get just a smidgen angry. We all have our limits, do we not!?

John is all right, really, I know that. He's a spiffing and 'inventive' individual. But, monumentally and gargantualy annoying. But he's good to animals and he speaks highly of me in Scottish circles. It didn't help when I put it 'out there' that his middle initial stood for Sebelius, I know that. But lack of sense of humour is not my fault - surely.

But that gentleman aside, I'm calm and relaxed nowadays. enjoying life, loving my job, enjoying the snooker too, and the advert where the meerkat wakes the chap up in the early hours. I'm very ok and all is well ta very much. Some of this won't translate too well, but never mind.

I just don't want or need any agro on QZ. I will fuel the fire less and less - and less still. Excluding this rubbish thread, obviously! That's all. It's nothing sinister or dark. Call me lazy if you really must. It won't upset me. Call me whatever you will. Blame me for every bad Queen thing that's ever been released, and see if you read about my suicide any time soon. You will not. If I do die suspiciously, btw, check jss's alibi intently please.

Int meantime, I'll just beaver away in the archive, and continue the worthwhile work of the brilliant Queen Team. Yes, it is a brilliant little team of people. I don't care if you take exception to that, because I know precisely what we do, and how much we care, and you have very little idea of what goes on behind closed doors... exactly like I know next to nothing about the detail of YOUR job, what you do, how long it takes, how much of yourself you put into it, etc. YOU know. Only you. I don't, and I'd never be so arrogant as to think I do.

So, like I say.... To Lostman and others.... If things were different here, I'd maybe stick around and reply to polite people like you, more often, and to reasonable questions posed in a reasonable respectable way. It's partly my own fault, I know that. But it's not worth getting concerned over. It's the snooker final in a few hours, and there are places to go, a dog to walk, and wonderful people to be with. I'm waffling now! Again. Don't get so humpy (prickly, arsy, offensive, nasty, bitter, death threaty, angry).

This site functions much better and more calmly without me annoying most of you, anyway!!! We can agree on that at least. And this....

I must away now ... to the dark and dusty place, to screw up another Queen product just to piss you off.

Send me red wine for Christmas, if you can't think of anything better. There's a brand new thread idea, right there for you. A freebie from me, your very very very favourite and most beloved Queen Archivist.

You know DAMNED WELL that I'm the best Queen Archivist the band has had in the last decade. I deserve looking after at this time of year.

Human kindness and humility and humidity to you all, and integrity and lovely fluffy things and.... Errr..... Other sentimental stuff, to you all.

GB (the real one) ... The Reel one.... Did you see what I did there!!!!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Boring.

Tell us something new, without reserve, without lies. And, let's be honest, you was drunk when you did write the post, and the topic which dedicated to  lostman. Am I right?[/b]

Hi, Greg.
You have no right to ignore my posts. You have no right to ignore the messages of others people. Especially in those cases when you give a mean information, and never telling all.
Apparently you think that writing a great post and giving  hints  you kill two birds with one stone. Nothing like that, Greg. We do not like dry food that we throw if only we shut up. We love and want the food we tried to explain and put into his mouth. and bigger and fatter. Do you understand what I'm getting at?
Do you charge us in ignorance and rudeness  and insatiable desire. What did you expect? We want it all, we want it now[/b]

Greg, was I that particular to get a topic with my name?

Greg, I don't think I have broken any rules, so I still deserve a few answers, please.

Greg obvoiusly doesn't have any RIGHT to reply to anything.

He's done his usual bit of throwing out the lure and, as usual, lots of people jump in and 'get involved' in the belief that Brooksy is going to SUDDENLY break the habit of a lifetime and respond with definites.

He's a prick of the highest order with an overly inflated ego, holding #his job# up as an "up yours" to the rest of us prolls.

The fact is that he's picked up and dropped at the shortest notice by THAT CLOWN Beach and the other two blokes that used to be in Queen. Yet, he continues to purport to being the doyen of All Things Queen.

Don't reply to him, don't question him; engage him at your peril. You're wasting keystrokes.

Don't expect any real answers from him. Instead of saying outright that he cannot reveal the trade secrets or he does not know anything, he tells us that he cannot be bothered to tell us etc etc.

He owe us. He must reply. he must... ... ... etc etc etc

The sound of sad Jewish violins circa WW2 is the perfect accompaniment for everything that GB posts.

"Wah wah, a wah wah wah, a wah wah.

Wah".

Whoops, I should've put it in capitals.

@ GB: Queen Archivist

Greg, excuse me, but do you really think that such topics as this one can really prevent me from posting any further questions?

I think you're obviously going astray.

And look what you've done. I'm seething with anger.

we need new releases, with NEW thing sir GB!!

Lostman....

You seem to have got the wrong end of the stick.

I wrote the thread, and thought I explained clearly enough, that I thought your questions here, to me, were fair and reasonable. I further said you were among the more respectful people here on QZ.

I then went on to explain, again respectfully, why I do not respond to 99.9% QZ things.

You read this, right?

I'm not at all saying you can't ask questions here. That's obviously up to you, and your own call. Nothing to do with me.

I was only explaining to you my reasons why I don't get into these things any more (here I mean). Elsewhere I do, as many of you know. But here... it's all a bit messy.

I do not understand why or how you took that the wrong way... if you did. It seems you might have, from what you replied with.

I also added that if things were different, I WOULD reply to certain reasonable questions... such as yours.

I hope we are clear on this.

Regards

GB

Greg, I neither was going to insult you nor hurt you. All I wanted was just, at least, a single answer... and nothing else. But I somehow was taken wrong.

I know you've given answers to many other people. I've emailed you a few times so far, but all of these times I have been ignored.

Shall I get to know why my questions are ignored?

Thanks for the answers, keep 'em coming!
