No, Tony, of course I don't think your head is really thick - 'can't get into thick head' is a sort of cliché for 'oh why o why can't see what is patent to me?'; apologies if the phrase really offended you.

& - No, of course *my head* isn't so thick as to believe the idiocies you attribute to me as possibilities in your last para — see my response to Joyce sing4peace that just preceded your last post. But, as Ron Davies supports me in saying just above, your idea that Hitler would have spared the Jews [Kristallnacht 1938?; Jewish deaths by the thousand if not million in Dachau since 1934? the Holocaust as it came to be called was well under way by then] if we hadn't declared war in 1939 & therefore that Joyce's begetters & I & my family wouldn't ever have become lampshades or soap; & that he would have found no further pretexts & excuses for invading any more countries but just have given up the spread of his 1000·Year·Reich & stayed peacefully at home in Berchtesgarten, just won't wash.

Come now — you know it makes sense...
