   Don't understand why you think I somehow invoked it. Nazis were the
furthest thing from my mind.
   In fact, I was wallowing in Star Trek nostalgia (The Cloud Minders
episode)!!
   Please 'splain . . . literalists like me can sometimes be a little

Ah, so.  I am an observer and pretty non-reactive most of the time.  That rant 
had  been stewing for the last 24 hours as the freeze hour was approaching.  
Felt good to drop it on the DDs.  Now I can 'pollinate' his response all over 
the web.  That will be my revenge.  ;)  I bet he'll regret he ever dropped that 
link . . .  hehehehe . . .
