Ummm...  No flame intended...  But just because YOU are tired of arguing
over the symbolic intent of the swastika, doesn't mean some of us who are
just getting here aren't.  I personally found it very interesting that
they DID use the symbol... and yes, I DO believe it made a good trap... 
And, yes, I can see where some people would getangered over ID's possible
use of the nazi-symbol.

Wouldn't it just have been easier and saved some time if you had pressed
'k'? ;)
