I'm sure there are NG's devoted to literary criticism, but this one
tends to be more aimed at flaming hapless Mx users. There is a rule
whose name I can't remember that says that once a post mentions Hitler
in any context all replies are null and void. Making with the 'my
country is better/worse than yours' comments is just one step away from
that, so I've speeded things along a little.
