there actually is some rule, akin to "murphy's law" type of thing that says
any thread is officially talked out when someone asks a question concern
some relationship between the thread topic and Hitler...IIRC, someone tried
to invoke this rule a while back by asking if hitler ate poutine... i guess
the rule doesn't always work... must be sj's reality distortion field.

isn't there an email etiquette and usage rule about how many messages it
takes to inevitably reach the subject of poutine?
or is the newtontalk list unique?
(well, we all KNOW it IS !!)

(tongue firmly in cheek about the poutine--no one fr toronto can speak
reliably on the subject...)
