Godwin's Law prov. [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition
in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's
Law thus guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups.

(sure, sure, its a usenet reference, but it applies elsewhere).
