I am replying off list to not continue the flame war.

I read you little bit mentioning Nazi officer being queazy (sp?) and it really doesn't make light of it.

Just a word of support.

I think that many folks don't realize that using such references applied to daily events
is seen as trivialization of a horrific chapter in history. As one who lost almost half of
their family to the death camps, I find such references particularly offensive. I see
them as equivalent to using the N word with my Black friends. It hurts! Funhog
