Just because it's old news is even worse because it means that people do not care for their own health, and when shit happens then everyone running to the doctor to save their asses.

Toner consists of microscopic particles, if you can grasp that meaning. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
