NP: preventive maintenance

[Doug Millison]

Having been on the receiving end of such epithets more than once on the
P-list, I thought some of you might be interested in this, especially if
the PoMo thread should begin to unravel the way I hear it did earlier this
year on the Gaddis list:

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/legends/godwin/

"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."
