Buzz off.

I care plenty about Elm. I have it installed on about 20
machines, and have hacked it until I'm weary of it.
I have posted a number of bugs fixes (that never got incorporated).
And so did a lot of other folks. The versions numbers have just gone
too far, and the silence from the maintainer (?) is deafening.

In my opinion, the author dropped out of the race without passing the baton.
