I'll bet that until it was brought up NOBODY remembered that this was in the man pages. It's been there since 1987 - not exactly a recent addition. I'll bet that if this really WAS an issue, that it would have come up sometime in the last 14 years - and as far as I've been able to find it hasn't. There are always going to be things in the world that SOMEONE finds offensive. My vote - if this ever came to a vote - would be to leave the man page package alone. Question for people who run other distributions and UNIX versions - is this man page included in them? or have other distros deleted the "offensive" material? Just my $0.02 Vinny
