And I think it should be pointed out that there was no evidence in the bold text or the entire post from the O/P that indicated anything about the Holocaust. However it isn't surprising that someone somewhere will associate such a post as denying the Holocaust. I'm only sorry that Flash525 even had to respond to such replies as it was one of the more interesting threads I have read recently.
