Maybe the CN devs are among us, but my intuition sees them as unlikely to ever directly participate in plaintext discussion on the surface of the clearweb.

Perhaps that's exactly what they want me to think, and I've (gleefully and willingly) embraced their fun teaser-campaign marketing.   

I try to keep an eye out for evidence one way or another, just out of intellectual curiosity if nothing else.

But it makes a better story if left unresolved.  That way the drama may continue unencumbered by pesky facts!
