I think my words are quite clear and don't at all imply that I am walking away 
from anything.   However, since you have snipped out the first part of my 
email, some users reading only this one might be confused.

 I am just not going to continue doing everything myself for a project that 
has grown past my limits of available time.

I also think it was clear what I want.  We need people to do regression 
testing on all the platforms that I don't have (FreeBSD, Solaris, Win32 
servers).  We need developers to resolve platform specific problems for those 
platforms.  

I think I have said all this a good number of times, including the most recent 
email.  This should be no surprise.
