there’s something funny going on with “Q” posts ...
Your technical jargon baffles me.
Seriously, I no tech-nerd, but maybe this?
They are trying to set up a one way receptacle for just one user to get stuff direct from Q. The BO, or whoever. Maybe that takes some special doing to wall off the two somehow and the tests are to see if Q can still send "test 3" after he is "spliced off" with a PRIVATE COMM channel.
So once the PRIVATE COMM channel is set up and secure, and Q can again post to the more general "public channel", the all systems are go?
You think that could be it? I just pulled that out of my..whatever. You techno boy, you make sense. Now I talk llike Mongo. Ha.
