That is what I attempted to suggest (though worded better). -- The lines which your eye falls on first here were written last. Their purpose is to make yet another attempt to force into the form of a letter the detailed investigation which is sent to you herewith. These lines correspond, then, with the last lines and together they form an envelope, thus indicating in an external way what internal proofs in many ways will convince you of, that this is a letter you are reading. ~Kierkegaard _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
