Have you any thoughts on the letter Q and its relation to 2 of the 4?
Or for that matter why the 4th seems to sit differently?
I mean we could go into any of the many non canonical gospels too, but of course they were all heretics.

Well, as to all the acceptable writers of the New Testament each to his own. Pick your team I guess. I would not consider myself a biblical scholar in any way so I can't really say. As to the Q source, I have only read briefly about this and it is an interesting possibility. As to whether it matters, I guess it depends on how you view the Bible; inspired writing, historical document or work of literature. I'm comfortable with all three but very tolerant of those who are not.
In regards to the 4th, it seems to have the most thump, if that's the right word. Its position seems strange though, between the 3rd and Acts.
Then there is The Book Of Mormon, which may become more popular this November.
