I got improperly accused once of breaking this so-called Law by one of the village idiots here on this forum as well, who likewise was ignorant of Godwin's actual meaning and intended use. Never let intelligence stand in the way of saying something stupid, right? As I already said, SSDD! Some things bever seem to change Peter.
