  - clarification. there are probably multiple Mark Conditts in the world. -- nm - Andie Mar 21, 06:51 3
    - Yup. It's about differentiating them from anyone that might have the same first and last name. -- nm - Krusty Mar 21, 06:56
    - I guess I understand that. It's just weird to think of someone calling me by all of the names. (Yes, I realize irony since my handle is MDH") -- nm - MDH Mar 21, 06:53 1

        since the dead folks were brown people I'm fine with my assessment. -- nm - Diva Mar 21, 06:36 3
        
        Maybe I'm cynical, but after the second bomb, it was obvious to me that this guy was white and targeting minorities? -- nm - MDH Mar 21, 06:55 2
