I'll say this, it was Q's tripcode. With 2 years between posts, I would think if there was fuckery afoot, they would have done this sooner. Also, Q posts resume on the night of Roe v Wade being overturned. Seems legit, although its not like I was sitting next to Q as they posted, so to say I'm positive??? I won't do that.
reverted makes it sound intentional. We don't know. The salt changed and then changed back. That's what we know.
Interesting timing perhaps, but suggests nothing as long as the password was used and no one has explained to me why jim would have to do this to lie about Q posting using the pw.
