My name is chris, HI!
Hans, i'm curious...
Using my email's 'reply-all' function, 'To:' is filled with two email
addresses from you. It says ' To: Hans Ecke ..@.. , Hans Ecke ...@...,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
(below is written in bad english! sounds cool. hehe [SoTeNd])
?You got tricks up-under your sleeves or what?
I mean, if i change my (or any) email address i could see that as a cool way
to simaltainously get someone to change my email address in their address
book; specifically by pointing it out to the recipient somehow, so it's real
obvious. Or not??
Read inside text a question....

It's good to learn new things...now's a great chance! Well, unless you've got
no reason to bother with it yourself. Keep reading....

I'm not a maintainer, but....
Original poster of this message: Are you the "maintainer"?
If not, you could help [out with that effort]. :-)
So could i. :-) :-) What are we talking about? :-)
If yes, is there any way/serverice available to give a project up for
adoption?
Seem's to me that project abandonding happens often enough that something
like a CPS (Child Protective Services) for children, but for 'home-less'
projects that are created and abondonded should be created, but not
abondoned.
Or like, for example, an animal 'pound', where lost and 'wild' pets are
taken to live (and usually die...) compares to a project that is lost out of
bordome (uhh..I don't have spell check...) or frustration. Hell, for ANY
reason.
Lost forever...how important would they be? We'll never know...ya know?
We all do it too...Oh it's too trivial, nahh...it's embarrasing, cause we
havn't commented the WHOLE time, which even though it's only 20 lines...We
still can't remember what's going on...hehe. Something like that, anyways.
