What bugs me is the cryptic phrase "Ismail Ax" written on his arm in  
red ink.  Was that ever explained?  And that he was an English major,  
wrote weird plays...  "Ismail Ax" is probably a cipher or an anagram  
or something, which is just the kind of weird wordplay I put into my  
work.  FREQUENTLY.

Is it off topic?  Or is it on topic in a larger sense that we rarely  
address?  What I mean by that is: If you're reading this mailing  
list, you're pretty much self-selected for an interest in weird  
stuff.  Violent weird stuff at that.  Does that give us some kind of  
tie, insight or sympathy -- however miniscule or tenuous -- to this  
crazyass murdering weirdo?  It's a disturbing thought.
