Meanwhile, I'll try to consolidate material now scattered across multiple files where it makes sense to do so. The miscellaneous humor files are an obvious target for this. Be careful about that! Some of the humor files are in separate files because programs refer to them. I suggest you wait for me to identify some to delete, before working on changes. I suggest deleting these files, which were put here before we had a web site. COOKIES copying.paper echo.msg INTERVIEW JOKES (but save the EMACS acronyms) MAILINGLISTS MOTIVATION publicsuffix.txt SERVICE We can replace copying.paper, MAILINGLISTS and SERVICE by URLs. We can also delete celebacy.1 and sex.6, as well as the program meese.el which uses them. I doubt many users will remember Attorney General Meese. condom.1 can also be deleted; it is not actually related to those two files, but without them, why put it here?
