The future of fortune(6)

[Thomas Sparrevohn]

Personally I be sad to see it go...fortune has been around for a very long time and reminds me of more innocent days where a bit of fun was a given part of the game - I remember porting it to Minix once and I struggle to see what harm it can do - but then again I am an old git

Hi,

The FreeBSD project already changed its logo to be more friendly and I think it is sad when people misunderstand the FreeBSD's Beastie trying to attribute myself as a FreeBSD developer certain attributes.

Humor and irony is individual like Warner pointed out and some people will never understand it and take it literally instead.

By deleting the non-FreeBSD fortunes are we certain we solve a problem and don't simply move it somewhere else?

About offensive port names, how about "/usr/ports/print/removethedots" :-)
