We are definitely getting more hits in terms of magic square decodes now!
Whilst I'd like to think this was down to me improving the spreadsheet functionality to cater with all Uppercase/lowercase options; I have now come to a different conclusion after some pondering today:
1) There are numerous ciphers far more complicated that our s/sheet capability, all of which are no doubt taught to CIA newbies. I think Q team have waited until our functionality was fairly accurate and then adapted their messaging to use our methods? I'm not fame-fagging here - I'm saying it seems a practical approach by Q.
2) Naysayers often pull us up on thinking up decodes based on 3-letter acronyms in our results; "could be anything". Actually, I think this is exactly why Q is doing it. The process seems to be that we find the acronyms and people's initials in decodes, we then use search to come up with a dozen acronyms that match, then we usually find one that ties into the crumbs Q has dropped us thus far. Then if it makes sense we delve deeper.
Imagine how difficult this process is to automate for black hats! That means it takes manual input and logic to decipher and that takes manpower! This makes the playing field even (or even in our favour) to decipher first! It works to our group sourcing strength, whilst tieing up pawns on black hat side. Pretty smart.

RR is busy pondering how to "re-curse" himself.
He's really in a big trap and can't figure out if it's a paper bag or a tin ash can.
