Ah! You mentioned the Nazis. Now we know the thread is over. :)
We should mention Nazis more often to end threads here. Godwin's law to the
rescue.
Deliberate invocation of Hitler does not invoke Godwin's law (courtesy
Gym Quirk .. now that's a name from the past.. havent read usenet in
about a decade.

6. "Hitler!" Ha! The thread is over!
Nope, doesn't work that way. Not only is it wrong to say that a
thread is over when Godwin's Law is invoked anyway (Usenet threads
virtually always outlive their usefulness), but long ago a corollary to
the Law was proposed and accepted by Taki "Quirk" Kogama ([email protected]):
Quirk's Exception: Intentional invocation of this so-called
"Nazi Clause" is ineffectual.
Sorry, folks. Nice try, though.
