Peronalizations Removal
-
There are some places where I think the direct "you" is fine, such as:
Would you like to submit the programming debug logs to the pfSense developers for inspection?
It seems odd to me to reword this (however it could be done). It really is a weird thing that has happened and "the pfSense system" is really talking to "you" - the sysadmin reading the screen.

That was my thinking on some of them too. So figured I'd leave them for a higher pay grade to decide.

I updated the "you" list to show ones I did as part of the "we", and ones that are 3rd-party code that does not need to be messed with:

It's still probably worth an attempt. In this case, The start of the sentence can simply be removed, leaving:
Submit the programming debug logs to the pfSense developers for inspection?
Though it could use a slight change for brevity:
Submit debug output to pfSense developers for inspection?

The list is getting much shorter.

The latest list.
Most of what remains is a lot of "Are you sure you . . . ?"
Haven't been able to come up with suitable changes for the rest of these. So if they should be changed it will probably have to be by someone with greater language skills (that's not necessarily a significant feat to achieve by the way).
So this looks like the end of the line for my remove personalizations effort. Unless I come across some more simple ones.
Special thanks to Phil Davis and NewEraCracker for taking on "Editor" duties.

Some suggestions… I'm not the best wordsmith, but these seem OK to me... Some of these might require option buttons to be changed from Yes/No to OK/Cancel, since these aren't questions anymore.

I would need to see the whole text blocks to properly re-write the config.console.inc texts, since there are line breaks and not all of the lines are shown in your file.EDIT:
Or maybe instead of "Please verify…", "Please confirm..." -

Feel free to change as you see fit. I did change some other wording in the auto-assigning block, as I thought it needed more than just the de-personalization.

!!! Auto Assigning Interfaces !!!
For setup purposes, the first NIC connected should be your
LAN connection. If a second NIC is connected, it will be assigned
to WAN. Otherwise WAN will be temporarily assigned to
the next available NIC found regardless of activity. The WAN
interface should then be assigned and configured as required.Please make the connection(s) to your pfSense interface(s) now.
The system will continue checking until they have been made.Searching for active interfaces...
If the names of the interfaces are not known, auto-detection can
be used instead. To use auto-detection, please disconnect all
interfaces before pressing 'a' to begin the process.

Thanks Virgiliomi. Your work has made the list much shorter.
