Can you elaborate, please? The file in question contains limericks by David Gerrold, committed seven years ago with the author's permission. Additions to this file would necessarily be more limericks by the same author, whose permission would again have to be sought. Therefore, future additions to this file are not likely. Since the benefit of sorting a fortune file is to make additions easier, doing so in this case would cause repo churn for no practical benefit, so Doug decided not to sort it. Unfortunately, the bandwidth saved by his decision was probably more than offset by that consumed by this thread. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
