Read the fine print, Mr. Smith is certainly correct...

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 
(quirk at swcp.com):

 	Quirk's Exception: Intentional invocation of this so-called 
		     "Nazi Clause" is ineffectual.
	
	Sorry, folks.  Nice try, though.

/me wanders off to do something completely worthless with his time...
