Hopefully this thread can be used to get people up to speed and get those questions answered by our more knowledgeable users.
Personally I consider Q to be similar to nostrodamous . Have you ever read Nostrodamous? He was an olden days French fortune teller, like a phsyic who said he could predict the future. His writings seem nonsensical until you look back and apply your knowledge of future events. Future proves past. I'm not saying the anons who decipher the q drops are wrong or or anything. Thats just one of my takes on it.
