I'm sorry, I don't quite understand this question. When I was seeing the 
problem before, I would see the same fortune about 8 out of 10 times. Now I 
am seeing different ones each time.

It also occurs to me that I changed two things at the same time, which has 
muddied the water a bit. In addition to beefing up my saved entropy, I also 
removed an old fortunes2 file, which is where the fortune I was seeing most 
came from. I'm not sure _why_ that would have caused this problem, or if it 
did, but wit the combination of the two "solutions," my problem is solved.

hth,

Doug
