 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:

  Apart from that, 'man fortune' has
