 Unfortunately, you have misunderstood completely.
 
 fortune(6) has an '-o' option that selects an additional database 
 with (potentially) offensive fortunes. The two Hitler citations I 
 spotted were not in that database, but in the 'vanilla' one. Christos 
 Zoulas has moved them over in the meantime (thanks!).
 
 What I cited was an excerpt from the fortune(6) man page. It was 
 intended for explanation, in no way as a slur in your direction. I am 
 sorry if terseness has created a different impression.
