Know what I think? I don't think anyone else we know of is a Cylon. I think that somewhere in Vancouver Ron and the other PTB are sitting back and having a good laugh at us all.
I honestly believe Moore and co. did not write any main character deliberately as ambigiously cylon. They've stressed many times that this show is about *human* fraility and *human* mistakes. A show where every poor decision is b/c "hey, X is a cylon!" no longer holds those themes. The show's focus shifts to something more akin to X-Files 'trust no one' rather than the theme of 'the enemy within is far worse than the enemy with out'.
I came back to your LJ to re-read Drunk and Disorderly, which is my all time favorite BSG fanfic BTW, and decided to look to see what other BSG fanfic you might have done. Somehow I ended up getting to this post.

I wrote something similar to what you wrote in my LJ:

And, yeah. It's been fun to watch. Heck, when I wrote this, some of the now-known-as-Cylons hadn't even been introduced! :)
