I am baffled as to why so many people think this is the address of the 
maintainers of the 'fortunes' package.

says otherwise (if you have it installed).  Things do get very easily 
buried in the volume of mail of R-help: it is not a good way to 
communicate with package maintainers (nor make suggestions about R 
development).
