Felix,

I have no intention of debating the politics of the Spanish Civil War on 
the LUG. My only intention was to point out that the subject is not 
simply an historical curiousity, as one post about Capa seemed to imply, 
but rather still touches some raw nerves in this country. I'm sure it is 
even worse for you.

Regards,

Rolfe
