Without statistics, you can't actually tell for sure: 1. if this is really a prominent page which is getting a lot of hits. 2. if visitors noticed this at all or do/did care. 3. how many visitors were offended, and if it could even be a "vast majority" (when is a majority "vast"?). Just because you care about it (thank you for the heads up), doesn't mean 99% of other visitors did/do: we just can't know because there are no or not enough data to tell. Having said that, the improvement you're suggesting: > There are far better ways to express the thought than by simply saying > "hitler quotes". For instance it can be replaced with "controversial > persons" or something similar. looks quite reasonable to me. So please send-pr a patch to reword this page and have that discussed on the appropriate mailing list. questions@ is probably not the appropriate forum for that. Thank you, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
