This is just a proposal. In the cold light of day I can acknowledge that I might have been too ready with the axe -- feel free to nominate some favorites for retention -- but one thing I'm sure about is that the contents of the fortunes file should be our scrapbook. Something like that might fit better as /lib/bentley or such. Remember that the original (Labs edition and 9front edition) fortunes files will remain (as far as I know) on fortunes.cat-v.org for future consumption. khm
