The only thing that annoys me is rude arrogant ppl
Did someone call?
This board was damn good when I first arrived here. And really educational. I learnt loads of insignificant facts about Queen, which were of no real importance in the long run, but which my life would be incomplete without.
And, even if the boards have gone downhill, I still return daily. And post whenever I can be bothered. Even though Queen aren't even my favourite band and more. Shouldn't matter. I still <3 'em, and am more than willing to learn even more pointless facts!
I do think the FAQ section is a good idea. I'm fed up of ignoring the same old posts, filled with the same old sarcastic, 'humorous' replies over and over.
Ooh... I'm typing a load of total crap at the moment, sorry... I'm just very bored.

Whisperer - by that title I meant there were 2 Queen questions that were unrelated to each other. I've only seen the 12 inch single lable under Queen songs, which is why I was wondering if it was a Queen thing. Sorry for the confusion.
agree with chazza. this board is becoming one of control freaks. its ok to just ignore annoying freaky spammers like baer but nobody can just turn the other way when a new person asks a question we've heard before. THAT is really the worst thing ever as far as some peeps are concerned. Chill out!
And... of course, the only other reason I stay here... I like seeing my post count rise...
Personally, I've always opposed the way the meaning of "stepford fan" has changed.
Buying a piece of Queen-merchandise even though you think/know it's shite is a somewhat paradoxical and even slightly masochist act, which was fittingly stigmatized with this expression.
On the other hand thinking that Queen were beyond reproach is nothing but an opinion about Queen, which - whilst not being shared by a majority of fans - is not paradoxical at all, as it's very well possible to sincerely feel about the issue like that. When someone's such an enthusiast that he enjoys all they ever do, then he simply does that and it's fair enough.
Per definitionem, the original stepford didn't have anything to do with the latter. In fact, he DID think that Queen could do wrong, because only thus he could buy a release he didn't like.
The type of fan that got branded as stepford later on buys his GH IIIs and assorted releases because he actually likes them and really wants to have them.
I thus would like to make the proposal that we all shall return to the original definition of stepford, as coined by GordonoBurstingFoam !
