as ACTUALLY relevant to the story - 88 appears to have some significance, 12?  i don't frequent the ADL site - no reason to unless something in a story moves me there. so what does the ADL (like just now - i looked up when the ADL was founded.. 1913. big deal. what does that  have to do with what i have learned as the events known as the holocaust?  again i think i deserve an answer.  if you can't answer or are unwilling to do so, i ask you just don't respond to my comments - you rarely add anything of value to a discussion in response to my comments. you just use them to harass me. i can mute you - i have found that a very nice feature. apparently though - you could still post drivel about me and i wouldn't know it,  and it would look like i didn't respond..  which is a weakness of this new "feature".  but it's been nice - like having a yappy dog move away from the next yard.
