Ah well, by Godwin's Law this thread is now over:

Godwin's Law     prov.     [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the 
probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There 
is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and 
whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in 
progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper 
bound on thread length in those groups. However there is also a widely- 
recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of Godwin's Law in order to 
invoke its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful.  [From The Jargon 
Dictionary, http://info.astrian.net/jargon/terms/g/Godwin_s_Law.html]
