I didn't check if it's already there, but this Dijkstra quote should
really be in 9front fortunes:
> Personally I think the world could benefit from an International League for the Derision of User-Friendliness.

Last night, I tried with a grep over the files listed in fortune(1).
That Dijkstra sentence suddenly reminded me that:
> Cat-v.org hosts a series of sites dedicated to diverse subjects that share an idiosyncratic intellectual perspective, questioning orthodoxy and fomenting elitism and high standards in topics from software design to politics, passing by art and journalism and anything else interesting.
Thus the suggestion.
