From http://www.infoplease.lycos.com/ipd/A0550084.html: Dictionary Na?zi Pronunciation: (n�t'sE, nat'-), [key] ?n., pl. -zis, ?adj. ?n. 1. a member of the National Socialist German Workers' party of Germany, which in 1933, under Adolf Hitler, seized political control of the country, suppressing all opposition and establishing a dictatorship over all cultural, economic, and political activities of the people, and promulgated belief in the supremacy of Hitler as F�hrer, aggressive anti-Semitism, the natural supremacy of the German people, and the establishment of Germany by superior force as a dominant world power. The party was officially abolished in 1945 at the conclusion of World War II. 2. (often l.c.) a person elsewhere who holds similar views. 'Nitpicker' would have been a better word. 'Nazi' used in combination with something as innocuous as 'HTML' cheapens the meaning of these dangerous people and their views. > > -- > Eric Hodel - drbrain@segment7.net - http://segment7.net > All messages signed with fingerprint: > FEC2 57F1 D465 EB15 5D6E 7C11 332A 551C 796C 9F04 > > -- "Daniel P.
