I probably should make sure I don't have any R rated taglines in there... No DR>sure how some people would react to those. :)
if you're on linux, you might find this li'l script handy... it sorts
the taglines and removes the duplicates... just tell it the name of
the file containing the taglines... it expects the file to have a
.txt extension... the results are output into
filename.sorted.uniq.txt so you don't lose the original until you're
ready to remove/overwrite it...
Thank you.
That script is quick too! It sorted 51306 lines to 36611 lines in
about .5 seconds!
the script is 26 lines long... i'm pretty sure wordwrap will bite and
need to be corrected...
There was only one line that wordwrap messed up. Line 24. It was
simple enough to straighten out. :)
I really should spend some more time learning the scripting
languages...
this one is 59 lines long and i know that wordwrap will bite it
fairly hard... hopefully it won't be so bad it can't be fixed...
Nope, it's not too bad. A few lines around lines 53-55, but nothing I couldn't figure out. :)

Dirty Old Sysops need love, too. ;)
the main guts are the "sort -n | uniq" part... i still generally go back through and look at the lines... especially since they're now sorted and it is easier to find typos for things like exact same lines but one has
a typo period where the other has a proper comma...
they're not so bad... like learning .bat coding in DOS... they are a lot more capable, though... kinda like using 4DOS with its enhanced scripting capabilities... the other thing, though, is using the available tools...
i mainly write scripts so i don't have to remember all the steps and specific command lines to do certain things...

that's an idea... i left all of mine in plus ones with some curse
words... a few folk commented to me about them but i still have them... plus some of what they consider to be curse words i consider to be every day language O:-)

That's true... Perhaps I'll leave them in. ;)

PG-13 themed might be better. Us decrepit old farts can us our imaginations. <G>
is it time for me to run my script and post my list which now
contains 12374 taglines? i don't recall what it had when i last
posted it on 2016 Jul 16... a quick search seems to indicate there
were 12059 in it at that time... each post was a max of 500 lines...
I was thinking about setting up a script as well. My list, right now,
has 51305. I've been trying to get rid of some dupes though...
I'll probably post 50 random taglines in each post. Gotta keep people wanting more... :)

here's my posting script... it breaks the input file out into separate files for posting... it is using hpt on this system to create the posts from the individual files... the NUMLINES variable at the top is the
