Sorry - it’s my fault. Q’s name has evolved and I can’t remember the evolution. Q Clearance was an early version. Q Anon was in use at some point. I note that he/she signs their name as “Q”. Your question actually calls attention to an extremely important point: There are pretenders, deep state disinformation campaigns who claim to be Q. I will try to track down the evolution/name to help make sure FReepers don’t fall into the snares set for those seeking the truth. You can always check the link I’ll post here - that is until the deep state hacks that page! Ha! Good question though.

Thank you for your detailed answer. Please don't apologize for any "fault"! You are doing your best with a complicated "messaging system" (for lack of a better term, I guess).

So "Q" or "Q Anon" isn't exactly like a FReeper name that you cannot deviate from?

It evolved, I think. Those name changes were as a user on specific boards. Note the oldest posts didn’t have any signature at all. I think the names changed when Q was forced to move for security reasons (boards comprised). We don’t have to worry about what board he’s on but I need to figure out how to state clearly “Accept no substitutes! There’s only one Q!”
I don’t understand how FR search works. If I post “Q” and someone searches “Q Anon” or the reverse (Q Anon-Q) will they find the threads? Any FR geeks out there? Thanks for clarifying - it is increasingly important as the misinformation campaign continues to heat up.

Right. Q-Anon is clearest. But Q is often used when people are in a hurry.
