Considering the very specific tendency of some people to find any mention of Hitler offensive, I'd say the text should be modified in a manner similar to this: A quote whose source you find offensive. This includes, but is not limited to, Hitler quotes. . . . or we could just leave it as is, with a footnote explaining the meaning behind the mention of Hitler quotes. Either way, I rather suspect that entirely failing to mention "Hitler quotes" specifically will result in greater incidence of people complaining that Hitler quotes should be removed. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Anonymous: "Eat your crow early, while it's young and tender.
