I'm sure a number of you have personal patches you apply to every FreeBSD setup you install. I've had my own small set of tweaks for years. Some of these are things that are of no interest to others. Some are excellent patches that have been rejected by the force of public opinion. I don't normally speak of them, or agitate for them, but maybe this one is different. I've finally had to edit the fortunes file to remove stuff that is so bad that I physically cringe whenever I see it. No matter how I try, I just can't see the funny side of it. Yes, it's in the "potentially obscene" section, alongside the funniest stuff in the fortunes database. But there are limits. Anyway, today I added a new patch to my list of essential FreeBSD fixes: I deleted everything by Rush Limbaugh. That guy just can't do humour. It doesn't work as satire, or even parody. It's just awful. Would anybody object if I commited this one? Cheers, Stephen.
