I was just reading I Q a Juggernaut? by Michael Goulder

I agree with him and have had some of the same conclusions over the past
few years.
There never was a "Q". Matthew added the material that is "Q" and Luke
used Matthew as a source, writing for a different audience and later decade.
That is my current take on it, anyways.
