Good morning, 

		"And that if you are, you'll just quit using -o rather
            than give us grief about it, okay?)"

I'd like to start out by saying I'm not trying to give anybody grief. I
e-mailed a support database for support. This isn't about giving YOU grief
it was that I clearly had a problem with some of the quotes in the database.
Currently we have stopped using the fortune package. I was hoping to find a
way to simply remove the harmful quotes from the database. There are several
hundred people on our campus that use the software that implements the
fortune package.


		"A highly intelligent man should take a primitive woman.
Imagine if on top of everything else, I had a woman who
interfered with my work."
                 -- Adolf Hitler
 
		"A woman must be a cute, cuddly, naive little thing --
tender, 		sweet, and stupid."
                 -- Adolf Hitler


A perfect example of something offensive...

		

	"Choose only from potentially offensive aphorisms"

You don't find any of the above statements potentially offensive? Okay. Can
you understand that other people may find them offensive? Is it possible to
choose statements that are less politically charged for publicly distributed
software? 

Please note, I'm not trying to but heads with you, I'm trying to find a
solution to this problem.

Have a good day,
Dan

 There are more with his name spelled correctly, like:

 of everything else, I had a woman who interfered with my work.
                 -- Adolf Hitler

                 -- Adolf Hitler
 
 
 Apart from that, 'man fortune' has
 
      -o    Choose only from potentially offensive aphorisms.  Please,
please,
            please request a potentially offensive fortune if and only if
you
            believe, deep down in your heart, that you are willing to be
            offended.  (And that if you are, you'll just quit using -o
rather
            than give us grief about it, okay?)
