    /*  hi peter,

        thanks for your message - you are absolutely right. though
        lacking the usual buzzwords, that announcement was promoting
        an offensively revisionist campaign and shouldn't have made
        its way through our filter. we have to apologize for that.

        some background on roehler/sleipnir from jungle world:

        Links? Rechts? - Revolutionär!
        Die nationalrevolutionäre und antisemitische Zeitschrift
        Sleipnir sucht das Bündnis mit der deutschen Linken.
        http://www.nadir.org/nadir/periodika/jungle_world/_99/11/15a.htm

        Ritt durch Odins Welt
        Mit Sleipnir versucht Andreas Röhler ein Netzwerk der
        Holocaust-Leugner aufzubauen
