Far be it from me to be a list thread-inhibitor, but based on sad experience on the opera list, I have on my subject-line auto-delete list "Nazi", and I if a message gets through the subject line filter and it has the words Nazi and Wagner in the same message, it gets deleted without reading further. It has gotten very, very ugly on that topic many, many, times there. (PS, for the record, I'm Jewish, know holocaust survivors personally, I like Wagner's music and go hear his operas whenever I can.)
Anyone who's interested in reading endless writing on this topic, I encourage to go to the Opera-L archives (URL below) and do a search "wagner nazi", and you should get more than your fill of this topic! http://listserv.cuny.edu/archives/opera-l.html
