I'm with you. There is enough larpiness to warrant a dismissal. But there's also enough substance to make me keep up with it. I find it comforting to know this (and maybe this will help you or others): the Q phenomenon will be proven one way or the other, independent of my personal beliefs.

Q, by it's own nature, MUST be verified at the highest levels (NSA, POTUS, etc) to be proven true. If this does not happen, it will have all been a very entertaining LARP. If it does happen... oh man. Tendies everywhere.
