Hello bart,

Indeed, when writing the Goering quote down I instinctively knew that there would
be persons who would misinterpret the meaning and think that I would accuse you of
being a Nazi.

Of course you are not a Nazi, neither do I imply you are one. I most definitely did
not have that opinion one single minute in my mind. I disagree with what you say
though, and I am sure that you disagree with what I say, but that is democracy and
we are its citizens.

Best regards,

Theo
