    FYI, was just getting off of work when all of this went down. I'm grateful to know my fellow CSers from this area are alive and well.

    My roommate has an AA meeting in the Cambridge area and I called to make sure he was alright. Then I heard about the boy who was killed and I called my sister (who is the same age) to tell her I love her.

    There's not a lot I can add here in regards to my feelings. I've been trying to remain my usual detached self and I fail when I spend more than a few minutes thinking about it.

      Yes, the letter with Ricin on it was sent to a Mississippi Senator; a suspect has since been taken into custody.

              Lautenberg is pretty big on restricting firearms so it's not a surprise that he'd sponsor a bill like that. It shouldn't be shocking to anyone that some people might think restricting who can own explosives is a good thing. I'm not debating politics on this, just that predicting such a thing happening is very far from being impressive.

                We are NOT going to bring politics into this, is that clear? This is not the thread nor the forum for it.

                    On the MS guy: The original suspect has been cleared and released, and they took a different person in.

                    On a lighter note -- for those who play D&D Online or Lord of the Rings Online, the devs (their HQ is in BOston) have begun a promo that lets players get free The One Fund ribbons (DDO) and cloaks (LotR) for their toons. Just thought it was kinda neat
