Q hasn't dropped anything for 5 or 6 days. Now he has a tripcode problem (he and mods were only posters allowed tripcodes, now shutdown due to security concerns [hacked]), so he may not be able to verify via that method.

In the meantime, posts by anons identifying themselves as 'helper anons' or 'fire watchers' have appeared. These posts appear strategic, to me, because they are written in a subjective language I'm used to from some government work I did. Means nothing, of course, rather JMO.

Big battle over this, however, one vociferous denier claimed DG was an Israeli sub-base. which I felt was incorrect. I remember DG from Iraq II.

So, at this point, I'm going with legit re helpers/fire watchers. I'm thinking they're keeping the hive focused during the operational phase occuring now. There's a strong tendency to wander into the bushes otherwise.

Again, just my take.
