[Az-Geocaching] And Now for Something Completely Different (let's end this)...

[Brian Cluff]

There has been more than one person that didn't like the amount of 
discussion on some particular subjects, but as far as lists go, 
geocachers seems to be VERY level headed type of people.  The 
discussions on this mailing list have never really been out of control, 
and 4 letter words have never been slung.
Heck, there have been very few occations that Godwin's Law has has been 
invoked.

Godwin's Law is a natural law of Usenet named after Mike Godwin
(godwin@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.

The complete Godwin's Law explained:

I think that Godwin's law has actually only been invoked in relation to 
a certain Site Steward :)
