The file in question contains limericks by David Gerrold, committed
seven years ago with the author's permission.  Additions to this file
would necessarily be more limericks by the same author, whose permission
would again have to be sought.  Therefore, future additions to this file
are not likely.  Since the benefit of sorting a fortune file is to make
additions easier, doing so in this case would cause repo churn for no
practical benefit, so Doug decided not to sort it.  Unfortunately, the
bandwidth saved by his decision was probably more than offset by that
consumed by this thread.
