Message-ID: <20210309162128.692CF640CB6@lignose.oclsc.org> (raw)
In the Seventh Edition manual, a joke was added to
the entry for kill(1). It appears in every following
Research manual, but seems to have been discarded
by all modern descendants.
I guess the prejudice against humour in the manual
is extreme these days.
