Yep. I didn't think it was worth while to point out that "liquidated"
was a buzzword for what the Gestapo did to people at that time, as
"deconstructed" is now a buzzword for what would-be critics do to stories
they can't otherwise trash.

Actually, I had sort of thought that "liquidated" was a reference to the
show trials in the USSR, then a fairly recent event (as well the obvious
pun on the fact that the WWW had been dissolved).
