-- Could it be five hyphens were typed but software converted to two em dashes and a hyphen? --

Other than the original source is ONE emdash, and ONE hyphen ...

You bring up a good point though. Maybe what we see in an artifcat of autocorrect or aut-conversion, so what we see is not "pure Q." What then? Interpret the autocorrect's mind? ROTFL!!

Agreed. The double em is way too long to match that Q post format.
