Hm, now this looks interesting ...

Seems that one or the other detail (the name of the person at the desk in the entrance hall of the mighty MR-Headquarters in this case) is not the same in every language version of the story but adapted to the userbase of the language subforum to create additional fun.

So by checking the differences between versions one could - in theory - rule out some named characters (or details?) completely.

But then again: The story will probably develop in a way which leaves no doubt who the suspects really are and we don't have to mull about this any further ...

Who is checking the french version?

My guess is someone decided to put you out of your misery but who....?
Did anyone light a virtual candle for pshrynk? R.I.P. pshrynk. (sniff, sniff)
aw ! pshrynk would have been so happy to know he's missed. (bows head solemnly for a moment of silence)

If someone quotes a certain form of illustrated reading material, does that mean their comment is graphic? We're going to have to "watch" you!

Rock Lobster is a double agent!

If he got paid for the murder AND the investigation, surely he could pay his rent! All he has to do is pawn the job off on some unwitting patsy.
