-Caveat Lector-
There's a fellow on another list I subscribe to, everyone who disagrees
with his theories, is a Nazi. This includes Jews -- I know of 3 Jews
whom he has called Nazi and anti-Semitic. Godwin is right, but doesn't
go far enough: on a list that is not well-established (like this one),
very large (like Priory-of-Sion) or heavily moderated (like EEJH, a
Jewish history list), the Nazi sobriquet will ignite a flame war that
causes the list to fold.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
