2018-11-26 22:48:51.235596+01 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

https://github.com/dominictarr/event-stream/issues/116

The original author seems to have abandoned the project, someone came along and said they wanted to do something with the project, so: "...he emailed me and said he wanted to maintain the module, so I gave it to him. I don't get any thing from maintaining this module, and I don't even use it anymore, and havn't for years."

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
