John -

No need to apologize anymore - you just lost the argument yourself. As
per newsgroups rules, the first person to have such weak support for
their side as to have to stoop so low to invoke Hitler loses the entire
thread.


Pah! You got me on a technicality!

As you say, this automatically renders the tendentious bull**** you came
away with utterly correct. Ah well.


No, not quite. The corollary to Godwin's law says that the first
person to mention Hitler or the Nazis _loses_ the argument, but it
doesn't say that the other participant(s) wins it.

Indeed. It takes a real dork to imagine anyone could 'win' anything on
Usenet anyway. I wish this silly war could be over and we could all go
back to arguing about WW2 and Nam again. It was so much nicer.

BTW where is Tarver these days?

John
