I never really had much patience, interest or tolerance to all the numerology and cryptic stuff. I could accept that dates given didn't have to be taken as literal dates.

To me the more important factor was the larger picture and the simple plainly obvious truth: all the comms from Q were in the public sphere - so that would mean that disinfo was seeded into it intentionally.

I was never hung up on "Q being real" - dot connection spoke for itself - the rest was throwaway and not really meant for us.
