4e30e04c4d Move the Hitler quotes and some references to him to the "offensive" file. 
I did not bother to sort them all. If you have a script, feel free.

e818716b66 While I find the Hitler quotes extremely questionable, I'm enough 
of a pedant to properly spell the monster's first name.

98500a3693 Hand it to spaff, he knows how to say it: 
Using encryption on the Internet is the equivalent of arranging
an armoured car to deliver credit card information from someone
living in a cardboard box to someone living on a park bench.

53365f4b43 Give a better advice on how to convert DOS text to UNIX text. 
The former tip used `col -bx', which would not only discard
CR's, but also expand TAB's and remove BS'en.  This effect is
not always wanted.

6325a5d282 Trim more cookies, by playing with different hash functions, 
e.g., by trimming all non-alphabet characters and whitespace,
converting to lowercase, and considering only first (or last)
N letters (maybe only consonants).  The fortune editor then
displays all fortunes that have the same hash, and allows to
remove one of them.  The rest is written to stdout.

Transcription of the Bell Communications Research Colloquium Seminar
7 March 1986 by J. F. Kaiser:

        There are wavelengths that people cannot see, there are
sounds that people cannot hear, and maybe computers have thoughts
that people cannot think.
