1/8 I've long thought that Original Q used a word processor to store all their content, which they recycled into new drops.
(Wait... does two months count as "long?" Listen, it's been a CROWDED two months, OK?)
Recently, I got a bit of confirmation...

when @kunstderfuge1 pointed out the quotation marks on drop 54 (linked below and with screenshot).
Look at 'em closely -- there are two different styles of quotation marks, " & ”.
That's weird: how did that happen on 4chan?

Well, the answer is: if you were JUST typing your responses up on 4chan itself, it WOULDN'T happen. The quotation marks would be of the same type.
But if you were copy-pasting from another source -- like a Word document -- that had the two types of quotation mark in it... ta-da!

So this brings us to a second-order question: OK, hotshot, how'd that get into the Word document?
This one is easily resolved -- dollars to donuts, Q copy-pasted the text off a website (where it had ONE style of quotation marks) and then tinkered w/it in the word processor...

which auto-changed the part Q was tinkering with, but NOT the parts left untouched.
(If I'm wrong, this would be a GREAT PLACE for an expert to pipe up with "That's not necessarily how it would work," btw.)
So, now to the third-order (but most important) question: so what?

The use of a word processor to track Q's content is consistent with two hypotheses:
1. Q is a team of people -- obviously they would need to share a record of what they'd said previously;
2. Q is a well-organized singleton.
We can't exclude either, so why does it MATTER?

Maybe it doesn't, but it at least adds another item to my little running list of Q's personality traits: Q is a record-keeper.
And you know what? That's a win!
And you know what? That's a win!
P.S. Of course, the punctuation isn't my ONLY evidence for this behavior by Q -- Q's drops often incorporate chunks of, and sometimes the ENTIRETY of, an old post; and this holds true even when the drops are coming fast and furious. Clearly Q is copying from SOME source.
