BFL isn't supposed to do any live-testing, so to say that they "use" Josh's pool when testing is just an assumption on your part.

50BTC pool has the concept of teams, and recently one team, avalonchina, was adding hashing power to the pool, like there is no tomorrow (currently at 1,316,183 MH/s and counting). I got curious and cheecked who the members of that team are an how much the contribute individually. What surprised me was that the top contributor is called simply BFL. Now is it Butterfly Labs testing their units prior to shipping, or just some random guy with a lot of batch 1 Avalon miners spreading some smoke cover?

An interesting observation is the hashing power required to find a somewhat noticeable number of blocks (aka solo mining at this speed might be profitable).
Another interesting observation is the number of members in the team. Avalonchina has 344 members churning out 1,316,183 MH/s, while the runner-up, overclockers.ru (who historically were always in the lead) have 7170 members churning out "only" 874,336 MH/s.
