Subject: RE: misc/33495: Offensive quote in netbsd fortune package

 Hi thanks for getting back to me so quickly. The particular quote that I
 found offensive had something to do with women being dumb or stupid and was
 very obviously discriminatory to women. Also, the fact that Adolph Hitler
 was chosen as the man to quote... There are so many great people to quote in
 the world. Adolph Hitler happens to have killed close to 18 million people
 all within the last century. I think many of the worlds workers would find
 it very unpleasant to log onto their workstation and have good morning come
 from Hitler. Especially people that have suffered the loss of a family
 member in the holocaust, this is extremely upsetting. I hope this helps
 clarify the situation.
 Dan

  | Hi there, I'm a network technician at Concordia University. We use your
 netbsd fortune package with one of our net monitoring programs. There's a
 database of quotes that pops up at the start of every session which is quite
 enjoyable. However, one of the these quotes is by Adolph Hitler and is quite
 offensive to women and certain ethnicities. I hope that you have facility to
 remove this harmful quotation and replace it with something that is more
 appropriate for public use. 
  | Thank you for your time and attention,
  
  The fortune database has the following 5 quotes from Adolph Hitler:
  
  	Everlasting peace will come to the world when the last man has slain
  	the last but one.
  			-- Adolph Hitler
  
  	I shall give a propagandist reason for starting the war, no matter
 whether
  	it is plausible or not.  The victor will not be asked afterwards
 whether
  	he told the truth or not.  When starting and waging war it is not
 right
  	that matters, but victory.
  			-- Adolph Hitler
  
  	Success is the sole earthly judge of right and wrong.
  			-- Adolph Hitler, "Mein Kampf"
  
  	The very first essential for success is a perpetually
  	constant and regular employment of violence.
  			-- Adolph Hitler, "Mein Kampf"
  
  	What luck for the rulers that men do not think.
  			-- Adolph Hitler
  
  Which one(s) do you find offending.
