We have always erred on the side of NOT removing something since what people find offensive (or humorous) varies hugely across cultures, languages, political persuasions, etc. If you want to make an argument that those fortunes should be moved to the -o file, that might be worth talking about. But flat out removing them is not keeping in the spirit of how things have traditionally been done. Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
