Dave,
the comparison that you make is absolutelky uncalled for - for crying out loud - this a talk board for FFP - how can you make such an comparison is absolutely beyond me. Even more so that whilst several people have asked you to edit your post - you have failed to do so.

Well excuse me for actually having a life - you know what that is, a job, volunteer fire-fighter training, that sort of thing.
Unfortunately, unlike some people, I am not at my computer 24 /7 able to change a post when others feel it is needed. I have just come back to this thread to see what has developed.
FWIW, no malice was intended. I was not aware that
patron is Austrian. The term "little Hitler" is a mild insult used often in Australia, and is not considered overly offensive. I
CAN however see why Europeans, and particularly Germans and Austrians, would find it to be EXREMELY offensive.
If I had known that
patron was Austrian, I would have chosen another term.
I stand by my comments though about his actions.
Dave
