38 people said the issue is not worth discussing.

22 people enjoyed the file as humor.

10 thought it was offensive.

9 did not especially enjoy the file,
 but urged me to keep it, because
 they think censorship is offensive.

14 thought that the file was not offensive
 but that it and all the humor files should
 be separate from the Emacs distribution,
 to make the Emacs distribution smaller
 or to classify things better.
 [I sympathize with the desire for a smaller distribution,
  but the humor files total only one percent of the size.]
 Some of these people suggested posting the file to
 various newsgroups for jokes.

1 said that it should be removed
 because others were offended by it.

1 said the file was not offensive per se
 but that it was offensive to put humor in the
 Emacs distribution.

3 said it should be removed
 because others might think it was unprofessional
 or otherwise use it against me.
 [Thanks for your concern, but I do not wish
  to cringe in fear.]

1 said that the increasing obsession with respectability
 in the Unix community is itself offensive.

3 or 4 people thought that only the -r option was
 offensive.  I think there is some truth in this,
 so I have decided to remove the -r option.

2 people asked me to let them know if I implement the program
 to go with the man page.
