If you are implying that there is some "rule" of behavior or etiquette
that now demands an end to this thread, the FAQ's would disagree:
[ from : http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/legends/godwin/ ]
I. The Basics
1. What is Godwin's Law? Godwin's Law is a natural law of Usenet named
after Mike Godwin (godwin at eff.org) concerning Usenet "discussions". It
reads, according to the Jargon File:
As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison
involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
Godwin's "law" is just a statement of probability theory and not some
Nazi Rule you can invoke to end interesting, ongoing, off topic
discussions!
