The entire infinite sequence consists of nothing but those 3 letters in a pattern that almost repeats every 10 times, and does repeat every 100 times. And if that doesn't give it away, then please note that not only are the missing letters in our 3 posts, but also the reason.

I didn't get it the first time, but second time around I guessed it was D, third time I knew it was D and then the fourth time I realised I solved the puzzle!!
