Q

[DaFace]

Did the use of "Q" to indicate a repost start here, or is it more widely spread? I can't recall seeing it anywhere else, but there have been many other internet thingamajigs around here that have ended up being pretty well-used around the internet.

However, some genius individual posted "Q". That made REPOSQ and it was hilarious. Over time, reposq was shortened to Q.

That is the story of Q.

edit: Blah, direkshun types faster than I

I just posted the link to where it started.

It's a Q in the Q.

It is a ChiefsPlanet phenomenon.

Yeah, and that was all brought about by the filter saying "I have nothing to add" or similar when you typed the word repost in your post.

That makes me laugh every time. And it indeed seems that Pablo is the father of the Q.

And I thought it was a reference to the Star Trek NG character that harassed the Enterprise.

Maybe "respeq" is the proper spelling, given the circumstances...

<------------but maybe I'm not the first one to consult on the proper spelling of "Chiefs"
