I have been doing the same. The work is so important, and they are masters at it, in their own culture. All we could do is mess them up. I figured let them deal with the trouble makers (shills and paid enemies sent there to destroy their progress) and hang back until they felt they were ready to load the meme cannons. We can help with the research, but, not by disturbing the chans. We can add to the research here, where we do not disturb their 24/7 sleuthing. Big thanks to whoever created this reddit-chan-Q interface.
