dear authors,

I thought al lot about hold voted parts an orphans over the last couple of

3 or 6 months?

There are a few(maybe several) parts that I have posted what need some
attention. I simply do not have time to devote to them right now. If someone
wants to pick them up and run, go for it, please leave a note saying you are
doing so.
Emails are nice. I usually reply in a few days.
