    Poor reading skills? I was the one that brought up the issue of relevance, and I did not say that it wasn't relevant, I said that I don't see how it's relevant and asked someone to explain in what way it might be.

    Von Brunn is not infamous because he got caught with child porn on his PC. He's infamous because he's a Holocaust-denying racist bigot with a violent streak who went to a Holocaust museum, opened fire and left dead an honorable man who gave his life in the defense of others. So you tell me: What exactly is the relevance of this bit of non-news about what may or may not be on the hard drive of a PC that he may or may not own other than the fact it's unnecessary sensationalism and drives page hits?

    Child porn on his PC? Maybe. That's what the government says. Relevant? Damn if I see how.
