PLEASE DON'T STAR THIS THREAD AGAIN. I think it was covered in way more
detail than it deserves in comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action. Yes, I don't like
Nazi's either and think they were really fucked up but hey, it's a game!
I'm surprised no one has accused anyone at Id of being a Nazi. 
Just please let this thread die, and don't reply "just use a kill file".
