    It's like that guy from Star Trek - knows all, is all, is everywhere at once etc etc.

    It is a robot afaik, it posts on predetermined topics afair. I could be wrong.

    Pretty much. Its a general account that automates a few things for us (such as posting news etc).

    He's Cloud's little marionette :)

    He's just a bot that roams boards.ie posting topics of interest......

    Q's posts are generated by a little script I (usually) run once a month; it basically fetches news headlines on a particular topic through the Moreover system, and allows people to comment on any headline in a related forum here at boards.ie.

    Nonsense, on a number of occasions this Q person has spoken personally to me on boards and even IRC and despite the fact that you are a Doctor of Electronics or something I doubt even you have created artificial intelligence!

    Q is the moderator of most of the Admin boards too, including the mod board. I think he is actually the master of muppets. He is the real person behind the moderators' keyboards - he IS BUBBLES!
