The objections that have been stated to the file `sex.1' make no sense to me, and therefore *as reasons* they carry no weight. However, the file is not world-class humor, so I'd rather remove it if most of the community dislikes it. So I am conducting a poll. Please reply to sex-poll, not to rms and CERTAINLY NOT TO INFO-GNU-EMACS OR COMP.EMACS, saying whether you think that the file `etc/sex.1' is offensive and ought for that reason to be removed from the GNU Emacs distribution. If you think the issue is not important enough to be worth thinking about, please bear with me and send a reply saying so. It is important to know how many people think the question matters. Note that I am not asking whether you think that it would be advisable to remove the file because of objections from people other than you. I want to find out what the users think, not what they think other users think. I'm also not concerned about whether people might get the impression that I'm not serious. What gave you the idea I was serious?
