Agreed, it shouldn't be up to individuals to decide which fortunes are *too* offensive. In this case, I suspect that there's a distinct difference between the perceptions of people inside and outside the USA. I also find Limbaugh particularly hard to stomach, but I don't think it should have been removed. The real issue I see is that, for whatever reason, the Limbaugh fortunes pop up far too frequently. It's as if the random number generation is failing. Comments? Greg -- Sent from my desktop computer. Finger grog@FreeBSD.org for PGP public key. See complete headers for address and phone numbers.
