I have removed access to
the Spanish version of this website as I am unable to read
nor write in any language other than English.
Numerous errors were corrected on the English side in 2014
that were not repaired on the Spanish side. Yesterday, I
found a number of new errors on the English side which
will be too difficult for me to bring the Spanish side
into compliance. I feel that there are far too many
errors to retain Spanish on this website. Since
2014, I have advertised for help with this website,
especially with the Spanish side, with no response. If and
when someone volunteers to update and maintain those
pages, I will be more than happy to take on a partner and
reopen the site to the Spanish speaking population.
-------------------------
He eliminado el acceso a la versión en español de este
sitio web porque no puedo leer ni escribir en otro idioma
que no sea el inglés. Se corrigieron numerosos errores en
el lado inglés en 2014 que no se repararon en el lado
español. Ayer, encontré una serie de nuevos errores en el
lado inglés que me resultarán muy difíciles para hacer que
el lado español cumpla. Siento que hay demasiados errores
para retener el español en este sitio web. Desde 2014, he
anunciado ayuda con este sitio web, especialmente con el
lado español, sin respuesta. Si y cuando alguien se ofrece
como voluntario para actualizar y mantener esas páginas,
estaré más que feliz de contratar a un compañero y volver
a abrir el sitio para la población de habla hispana.
