[RINGS] 7 red dots

I was thinking about how the clues were solved this week. Enter a solution into 4clue, get a clue, and have the next item to be solved at the bottom. At the bottom of OPIL were the seven red dots. I don't think we used them to find another solution.

I went back and reread Simon's first letter. Here's what he said about the seven red dots:

Also, the back of the envelope had seven red dots, a personal inside joke of significance, only he and I knew about.

I don't know if the red dots appearing in these two places is a coincidence or a clue. It seems out of place that Simon specifically said that only he and Uncle knew about the dots, and now they show up on Cromeline's site.

Any thoughts?

maybe 5 is simons uncle jeff maybe thats what the red dot clue was for so maybe uncle jeff betrayed the 4 but or maybe his kin clan is the4. but i always thought he was 0

Just a little bit ago in chat SO sent ....... 7 red dots...not sure what it means tho or how often that happens.
