(FWIW, IMO, folks should ask what others are feeling and not make assumed statements.) You have no idea who I am. You don't know, for example, that I may have a vision impairment which may make proof reading harder than normal. You don't know, for example, that I may suffer from dyslexia. Thank you for letting me, and others, know that we should avoid correcting ourselves (even if the correction is necessary to avoid a technical misunderstanding) to help you with your desire to make "helpful suggestions". -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
