Having confronted Dr. All, Jay P. Hailey, International Man Of Mystery, 
exclaimed:
 JPH> In order to do this, its necessary to articulate
 JPH> those themes and be conscious of them. "Q" is a
 JPH> scholarly term meaning "source," from the German word
 JPH> _Quelle_. Some Biblical scholars use the term to
 JPH> describe an ancient text they believe was used as the
 JPH> source of the New Testament's wisdom. 
 
      Now we now the rational of giving the Q their name, or conversely, 
within the context of the story line, Q chose to announce himself by 
that name.  Obviously the Q see themselves the source of wisdom that is 
to be dispensed to lesser races.
