Judy/Barry/Peter I'm not quire sure who introduced the term Ashkenazi overclocking here but it was one I never heard before and I wanted to thank you for bringing it up. It was very interesting to read about. I am Ashkenazi as maybe both Barry and Judy are also (are you?). Our heritage is not originally locatable to northern France and and western Germany which, as I understand it, is where the Ashkenazi's originated. We were part of the Ashkenazi migration just a tad later (early 1700s). On my mom's side we are Russian Jews. Her parents (my mom) were from Odessa/Kiev or thereabouts. I don't know what this particular type of Jew is called so we just always said, Russian Jews.
On another note, did the term Nazi (obviously the last 4 letters of the term Ashkenazi), come as some type of epithet originating with the German's and meant as an insult to the Ashkenazis? Anyone know this?
