Of course not, you probably know all about Nazi camps... I, on the other hand, was never aware they spoke English there.
One can learn something new every day, from an expert.

Hello Tony,

Godwin's law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies or Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies)[1][2] is a humorous observation made by Mike Godwin in 1990[2] which has become an Internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1 (100%)."[3][2] In other words, Godwin put forth the hyperbolic observation that, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably criticizes some point made in the discussion by comparing it to beliefs held by Hitler and the Nazis.

Unlike the Arena team, we at WinBoard don't feel that user's should be
fooled into using one GUI or another. So we don't advertize with silly phrases, we just provide facts and specs.
But feel free to use it on the Arena website to attract some more hits by Nazi friends of yours.
In fact, why don't you advertize with swastika's on the Arena website?
I am sure it will cause a great many new hits...

The original ancient "cuique suum" (Latin) had nothing to do with Nazis, (at least IMHO).

Hi,
You don't present any facts. Fact ois that Arena is the number one chess GUI as Google tells you. Fact is that you have used a phrase from nazi jargon and instead of apologizing you continue with such phrases. Every decent person finds them disgusting...

The English wikipedia has
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Each_His_Own
and explicitly the German translation of "Suum cuique" - Jedem das Seine, which refers Prussia and Nazi Germany, Several modern advertising campaigns in the German language, including ads for Nokia, REWE grocery stores, Burger King, and Merkur Bank have been marred by controversy after using the phrase Jedem das Seine or Jedem den Seinen.

I had never heard this before, but so true, therefore brilliant.

I have nothing to apologize for. Nazis did not speak English, and only a very, very sick mind would connect any thing I say with Nazis. So indeed, I am not surprised that you do.
And indeed, we now know how you try to create hits on the Arena page, and fool yourself into thinking that people tricked into going there to read your garbage would want to have anything to do with Arena.
