In the author's note to one of his stories, StarStang06 mentions three authors – "DQS, or Rehnquist, or Robert Lubrican." I know of Lubrican. Who are the other two?

I tried to google Rehnquist but it only came up with Chief Justice Rehnquist.
Nearly the same for "Rehnquist author" but I got also Zenobia Renquist, author of erotic novels. [different spelling however]
HM.
ETA:
for "DQS author" Google found
"Dietary Quality Score",
the German Society for the Certification of Quality Assurance Systems (DQS),

Rehnquist
Very good writer, well worth seeking out even if you do need to go to another site to read his work.
Answering a question is not a bad thing. Linking to said 'other site' is frowned upon for various reasons not the least of which is that links imply association / support of the other site.
You will notice the name was mentioned but no one actually provided a link.
I didn't give links, just the names and the site. I guess I could have left it up.
Live and loin.
If Lazeez thinks it goes to far he will remove it. I try to avoid mentioning other sites but so many authors post on multiple sites and not all their stories are on all the sites.
Which leads to the question on DQS. Is it the same DQS that posts here? https://storiesonline.net/a/Daniel_Q_Steele
He has about 40 stories on the other site, I recognize three of the titles here.
I would not claim to be a fan of 'his' writing so am not willing to read the stories on both sites to compare them.
I don't believe he has updated either site in 2 or 3 years. That said if someone wishes to sample his writing they can do it here at SOL and go to the other to read the titles not found here if they enjoy his work.
On a different note: looking up DQS on the other site reminded me why I don't like going there.
SOL does one thing and does it well. On the other hand those other guys try to do too many different things and don't do any of them more than adequately. Finding anything specific is a pain and looks more like a click magnet than a serious website. Just my opinion mind you but I am unlikely to seek out an authors additional material there in the future.
Damn. And I deleted my prior post because it referred to another site :(. Isn't that a bad thing?
The context of the prohibition was that SoL seemed to be getting hit with some Q&A type scenarios where somebody never seen before would pose a question about certain (types of) stories, and others(also not seen prior to the behavior starting) were replying with long lists of (valid) links, none or exceedingly few of which linked to SoL. Then other more established posters started doing so to varying degrees.
Which is what made Laz draw the line, the forum is here as a service to the users and authors on SoL, not here to be free advertising for other sites.
As I recall the guidance is linking to those other site is acceptable within certain bounds(IE specific answers to a specific query which doesn't have an answer available on SoL). But it is to be done sparingly. (As people being able to get answers to those questions has potential to help grow the community as well, which is why it isn't completely prohibited)
Basically no more of the whole "what are some good stories involving _____" getting answered with a half-dozen+ links pointing outside of SoL
But as with all good things, all it is going to take is somebody, or a group of people coming along and trying to abuse that little bit of wiggle room and even that dispensation may go away. But for now, it is there.
