Lest anyone stumbling across this in a google or the like think 
otherwise, it's probably worthwhile to pull this bit out in its own post.

Chris Mason: btrfs lead dev.

Chris Murphy: not a dev, just a btrfs tester/user and btrfs list regular.

It's worth noting that this isn't a problem unique to this list or the 
Chris name.  There are I think three "Linus" on LKML now, with at least 
Linus W noting in good humor at one point that his posts do tend to get 
noticed a bit more due to his first name, even if he's not /the/ Linus, 
Torvalds, that is.

I've name-collided with other "John Duncan"s too.  Which is one reason 
I've been a mononym "Duncan" for over a decade now.  Strangely enough, 
I've had far fewer issues with Duncan as a mononym, than I did with "John 
Duncan".  I guess at least the "Duncan" mononym is rarer than the "John 
Duncan" name.

@ C. Murphy:  Given the situation, you might consider a "not a dev, just 
a user" disclaimer in your sig...  Or perhaps you'll find a Murphy mononym 
as useful as I have the Duncan mononym, altho I guess that has the 
Murphy's Law connotation, but that might have the effect of keeping the 
namespace even clearer (or not, I don't know), as well as making the 
mononym rather more memorable!
