It was something I had been meaning to do for years after hearing about it. Seti had just moved over from classic to BOINC. In that five years I've made so many friends on seti, some of whom I've been lucky to meet up with in real life. Seti folks are a generous group, I've had so much computer help, I know that if I have any problem with my computer I just have to ask and a dozen people will come forward with help, suggestions and advice. I've had very interesting discussions in politics, talking to people with directly opposing opinions which has been extremely interesting for me and a great learning opportunity. To those who managed to discuss your vastly different views without getting personal (people like Rush, and Jeffrey) you have my undying respect. About the only thing all of us here have in common is our belief that the truth is out there (and a love of cats for some reason). No wonder we all fight so much! At the risk of sounding really cheesy, we haven't yet found any aliens, but we found each other...and no, I'm not high. Thank you seti for a really 'interesting' 5 years.
