I've ardently avoided this thread, however one of Luciano's comments got to
me.  There is NOTHING wrong with striving to be as historically correct as
is possible. The level of the authenticity on some on this thread is beyond
impressive.

However, when you try to "enforce" your standard of authenticity on others
you should expect resistance and hard feelings.  That is when some get
labeled as a "Nazi."  You can be authentic, correct in every way and lead by
example without being demeaning, overbearing and/or rude. In fact, there are
some (perhaps many)who do.
