I've heard it said that after something like twenty postings in a usenet
thread that a reference to Hitler or the Nazi's will show up--I want to say
that this is dubbed "Godson's Law", but I may be wrong on the name. (Shame on
me for not Googling!) That aside it seems that any thread in the Macintosh
groups that reaches around ten comments has a sub-thread that wanders into
Unix and/or Linux, and I decided to create a law about that in my own name.
