"but he always comes around here to start something."
Well... to that, he might say 'I didn't start it'. But that would be predictable of him, Lord knows he hates predictability. He might just ignore it altogether.
But anyway. I think we'd all benefit from a group hug. Or a group handshake, if you're so inclined!
Come on GB - "Join together with the band".

I've never thought that GB is lazy. I don't have an opinion bc I don't know really what he does or doesn't do on a daily basis so I'm not qualified to say. Unless you are stalking him Seven Seas of Rhye, then you shouldn't know whether or not he's lazy either.
I don't spend my time commenting on what other people do or don't do. I hold the mindset that if someone's got enough time on their hands to find out if someone else is lazy, then you don't have enough to do in your own life. Take of your own backyard and GB will take care of his.
GB, I wouldn't ever waste my time explaining to random people what I do or don't do with my time or my work day. Whose business is it? But if you want to explain your daily doings, that is fine. I'll read them here and there. It is interesting to me bc I'm a Queen fan but I hope you don't feel the need to explain yourself to the more respectable population of QZ. We do exist. But along with some respectable people, there are knobs. You know that already but I wanted to state it for the record.
Carry on.

I appreciate your considered comments. Your contribution was much refreshing, and likewise to see comments NOT predictable for a change. I think you hit a fair few nails on the head there. Especially about some of the things I've said flying straight over the heads of too many QZ morons. Dead right. Good on ya.
Dr Perry Cox. Ta chummer. Same goes for you. You can have a shandy too when I see you.
Screw those on here who were too thick and stupid to agree. WE are right, THEY are wrong. It's that simple. Some people won't get this drift either chaps!!! Shall we start our own site?

I bet this tosser is not even GB but just some lifeless kid making fun of all of you people.
Might be, might not be. It's allllll in the stars.
Messenger of Leah...
In answer to your "reasonable request"...
"So instead of writing a two-part post on what you don't do, why don't you enlighten us and tell us what you DO do? Put to bed the rumors and put all your doubters in their place and tell us what it is you do."
I would think that's a fairly reasonable request, wouldn't you?"
GB... No. It's not reasonable, not really.
Firstly, you overlook the significant point that I actually DID tell you some of the things I am responsible for (albeit only in general terms), which I've not told you before. Thankfully a fellow QZ-er has since pointed that out to you. I did tell you some things. Why didn't you mention that?
My main point was merely that I am perceived as lazy by people who know nothing at all about my job, or what it entails. They know nothing, but still inexplicably accept the word of strangers on this site that i'm lazy, because it suits them to. That they do so without question, without foundation or one iota of proof, so readily, and without conducting one second's worth of research of their own, makes THEM lazy, ironically. THEM lazy, not me. That was the purpose of my posting.
Establishing this point does not mean that I should thereafter have to explain exactly what I DO do in my job. Why should I?
I would no more expect to tell you about the details of my job, than I would expect you to tell me and all other QZers details about your job. I really don't know why people make this assumption that I should automatically answer all questions, as if it should be public knowledge - the done thing... like they are somehow OWED that info. This is illogical, yet many people have this attitude and expectation.
I've been here before, but still here we are again, 4th, 5th time, with me having to explain what should SURELY be obvious to every normal person.
Can we agree, finally, that I'll keep certain details of my job private, while you do the same - until such times as somebody, any one of us, decides they want to divulge further details to anyone who's interested. Let's not just EXPECT it, like we are obliged to give out that kind of detail. And let's not be pissed off at anyone trying to respect the wishes of their employer and who maintains a professional silence where appropriate on private or sensitive issues.
THIS is what I call reasonable.
This is basic stuff, in my opinion. Why do so many people on this site (older than 20 years, shall we assume) have such a problem with this, and get all bitter and confrontational when I will not explain every detail of every hour's work, at their every demand?

Queen Archivist, if you really are Greg Brooks then why don't you PROVE it?
If you are then I'm bitterly disappointed that QP have the belief in you to be the Queen Archivist. You are being paid a salary to to do the job given to you and all you seem to do is ridicule genuine Queen fans trying to discuss amongst themselves the life and times of one of the most important and influential bands of our time. All you seem to do is to wind up some of the members of this community by pointing out some of the *incorrect* things they've said but all you're doing is making a fool of yourself.
Not so long ago in the early 90's a release of a/some boxed set/s was 'promised' to us fans. Can you really blame us for the frustration it causes when 15 or so years on nothing of real importance (except for MIH and Freddie box set) has been released? We have been faithful to our heroes but lack of promised product and unkind words from the alleged 'archivist' is driving away the hardened fans.

"What Zebonka, ok.computer, YV, etc, etc, is of no significance to me... no more than what I think of them, matters to them."
Oh gosh I completely missed that. Don't lump me in with ok.computer, he hates my guts!
I do find it a continual amusement that the only people who talk like this about me are the ones who don't know me in person... I wonder if its the same for GB?
I'm still waiting on that group hug. I promise not to grope anyone.

Greg, has it ever come to your mind that you also always post the same things? You made your point already clear ages ago.
There is a time to stop your moaning. Because that is what you do.
Do you find it odd that people call your 'lazy'? I don't. Your post-history here says enough.
You, as the official Queen archivist, should have known better, but you just play the game along. In this case, you are the fool, by lowering yourself to their levels.
You have some big talk here, sometime you've got the characteristics of a narcissist, but why don't you proove you are 'our' archivist? What have you got to lose? Nothing, right? Well show us your world.
Tease us a bit with the holy grail (by uploading something rare for example), so maybe we can quit this bullshit once and for all. A waste of time, really.

And I thought that GB was dead from Qzone... I can't believe this :P.
Greg, I know what you need for real instead of some complaining here on Qzone: Grab your wallet, go around the corner and buy yourself a muffin in a bread store, sit there, eat it and start having a new life without too much fighting on Qzone. This is the best advice I can give to someone who complains a lot of silly things like you :P.
