	I have an AP task that will be about 2-3 days late. How long does SETI wait before it will not accept the results? ____________ Thanks, Jim

	SETI immediately sends out the WU to a third wingman. If you return a valid result before the third wingman, you will be credited. If the third wingman susequently also returns a valid result, he will also be credited. At least that is the way it is supposed to work. It usually does. ____________ -- Classic 82353 WU / 400979 h

	Therefore, by inference, if the third wingman sends his result in before I can, then my result would not count, correct? ____________ Thanks, Jim

	Therefore, by inference, if the third wingman sends his result in before I can, then my result would not count, correct? Yes, but their aren't many system that are configured to be able to return AP work in a couple of days.
