Thank goodness, this thread is now over.
Errm, no. That's not what Godwin's Law says.
Strictly speaking, it's exactly what Godwin's Law says, that the longer
a thread, the more likely someone will make a comparison involving
Hitler/Nazis.
"As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison
involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."
Godwin's Law itself says nothing about a thread being over at that
point, that's a usenet tradition.
