Fair comments.
You said: They are not all native English speakers and if there is some hidden irony or humour in your posts, be sure they go unnoticed. You will be taken for what you say as a representative of QP.

I really have no idea why some people - A LOT of people, actually - think that my views are in any tiny way representative of the views of Queen or QPL, or as the face of the band or the company. They are not. My views are MY views. Justin Shirley-Smith has his views, Pete Mal has his, as does Brian and Roger.
We do not all have to agree with one another. QPL does NOT view me as a 'representing' them or their interests or views. They recognise I am my own person and that I stand alone with anything I say that QZ-ers may perceive as controvercial or otherwise... good or bad.
I can't understand why QZ-ers ALWAYS ALWAYS say... this person Greg who represents QPL, and is a poor example of QPL staff. I simply don't represent them. i represent my self only, and my point of view.
No more than that French footballer (Zidan, is it??) disturbing outburst of agression is the representation of his national football team, or nation, or his fellow team members, or the fans, or the management, and no more than the actions of Robbie Williams are representative of the feelings of EMI. It's ridiculous to keep tying me up to the thoughts and opinions of a company (QPL) for whom I do work - as well as for other people... I also DO NOT represent the views of the other people I work for.
QPL do not view me as THEIR employee or as their representative... so why do so many of YOU guys?
If you, YV, came on QZ and started pissing people off aboutyour views of certain QZ-ers, and you happened to be Roger Taylor's house-keeper or gardener, would it be logical for me and other to vilify you, and say that you are a terrible Representative of Roger and his opinions??? Of course, that would be ridiculous.
I am self employed. Greg Brooks works for Greg Brooks, like millions of other self employed people. I am NOT a Queen spokesperson.

Mr Brooks, when do you ask Queen fans to help you with # 1 hits - do you ask it as official Queen archivist who works on QP (Brian, Roger, John) or as an ordinary fan of Queen band?
"my views are in any tiny way representative of the views of Queen or QPL, or as the face of the band or the company"
We know that.
"QPL does NOT view me as a 'representing' them or their interests or views."
But we do. Because you're working on them. And yes - Zidane represents his team, because he was captain. During the game - he represents his team and its interests when he's talking with the ref or exchanging handshaking with captain of ther team.

Sorry Greg, but I disagree.
If you posted under your own name 'Greg Brooks', then perhaps your argument may be valid.
However, when you post under the title 'Queen Archivist', you do indeed pull on the mantle of official Queen Spokesperson, and as such bear full corporate responsibility for your actions.

Great John...now you gonna make him cry. -.-'
I haven't been following this argument; I don't have the time to, but regardless of what has been said I would just like to point out the obvious and say that your posts here, as someone who is employed by 'Queen', are extremely unprofessional.
Perhaps there have been some assholes on here bad-mouthing you...I really don't know; like I said, I have not been following this argument. But if they have, then you, in your position, should have the strength of character to rise above it. Obviously you do not.
I think it would have been better if you had just said nothing at all.

Greg, for better or worse you are the Official face of the Queen archive, and to write the above under the guise of your authorized title, is both an insult and a slap in the face to us all, and is a blatant misuse of the authority and trust placed in you by the band and fans alike.
Any one else would (correctly) be hammered as a spammer.

Forgive me for repeating myself, but, I am posting this everywhere the Official Queen Archivist can read it, to remind him of the promise he made to me on 11th July 2006 .
Now there is no excuse to say that he did not see it, or that he overlooked my mail.
Therefore, if you a man of your word, and can you please reply to the request below?

NO confusion, no guessing, no misleading misinformation. John, what do you REALLY know. What do you REALLY have to offer as fact?"
As I have been so free with my version of events re: Queen II recording sessions, and I have placed all my knowledge "...on the table", I hope you can oblige and let me know EXACTLY where I have gone wrong.
I really look forward to reading your informative reply,
