In reading this thread over the past several months it suddenly struck me
that the reason that I am repelled by anything with the colors black, red,
and white is because I associate the combination with the Nazi regime (I
was a pre-teen during the war). I have a perfectly good set of colors
denied me because of my subconcious feeling about it. Carl Pearlston's
wonderful post teaches us the way out of this dilemma and I thank him for
it. I am personally happy to have my colors back along with Wagner's
wonderful music.
