But seriously, thanks Bob for pointing out the misspelling. |

There's a Mark (with a k) that's quite active on the btrfs list (and has |
| 20 |
in fact done quite a bit of testing on the raid56 stuff, and written most |
| 21 |
of several related pages on the btrfs wiki), and I guess my brain has so |
| 22 |
associated him with the btrfs discussion context that without actually |
| 23 |
thinking about it, I was thinking this was the same "Mark" here. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So pointing out that it's actually Marc-with-a-c here actually alerted me |
| 26 |
to the fact that it's not the same person, and very possibly saved a very |
| 27 |
confused Duncan from making quite a fool of himself in some future post |
| 28 |
either here or there as a result! |

|
| 30 |
So thanks VERY MUCH, Bob! =:^) |

(FWIW, my first name is John. But at least in my generation there's so |
| 33 |
many Johns around, and Duncan as a last name isn't uncommon either, that |
| 34 |
in fact there are quite a few John Duncans around too, and it's all |
| 35 |
horribly confusing. I even worked with a Donna at one point, and in a |
| 36 |
fairly noisy environment all you hear for either is the ON bit, so we |
| 37 |
were always either both or neither answering to calls for either one of |
| 38 |
us, since neither could easily hear which one they actually called. So I |
| 39 |
switched to the mononym "Duncan". That has been MUCH less confusing over |
| 40 |
the decades I've been using it, now. Anyway, I can definitely identify |
| 41 |
with first-name confusion. =:^) |
