Blast from the past
Every now and then, someone asks if the Q team reads our Q threads. I believe they do, based on a prior Q drop.
Bagster was joking about "188%" (multiple posts) and in the following thread from 4/2/2018, there were 188 exclamation points included in Q1006.
Bagster sez it:
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3644414/posts?page=622#622Q drops 188 exclamation points:
http://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3644414/posts?page=1457#1457But wait.....that's not the only time we saw a Q drop with 188 punctuation marks in it.
Apparently, we didn't "get it" the first time (posted above) Q signalled, because I recall posting an MQD stating that I believed that a "line" made of 188 periods included in a Q drop acknowledged our thread via Bagster, because Bagster was then managing editor of The Oracle, which was the summation of all FReeQ content posted on threads.
But, Q1006 was posted before The Oracle began publication on 4/28/2018. So that means there were two separate instances of 188 punctuation marks in a Q drop - the first I'm aware of (h/t Ymani Cricket) appeared in the same thread Bagster used his punch line 188%.
Some Q drops have been rewritten, but there was originally a second instance which occurred during the print run of The Oracle. It's likely still on thread, even if the related Q drop has been rewritten since then.
So yes, I do believe the Q team is aware of our Q threads. Even though there are countless Q shops across the land, they do have it all.
And Q have people that do stuff for them no doubt, and tech stuff that enablest them to do magic things like find stuff without using Start Page.
