The Q clock is an interesting thing.
It is a signal and symbol in and of itself and displays a level of planning and coherency that is very impressive.
Still, what bothers me about the notion is how rigid it must be. Posts must be made within a one second time frame. This leaves no room for error and holy fuck if a bread isn't up.
The other problem is responses. It almost requires that every Q response be to a scripted question I order to scan, identify, formulate and construct a response and then reply within a one second time frame.
That means Q must know ahead of time when he is going to have time to make a response, and be able to either respond or drop his own post on that given moment.
The system doesn't really allow for Q to be dynamic and certain things absolutely must be done at a certain point in time. Unless there is a way of indicating a post's time need be shifted….
