Wondering - would the results out in the field ever go closer to zero at the current progress of not sending out new work units? Yes, even ghosts come off the "out in the field" count when they reach deadline. For now, the creation rate and return rate are quite similar so the overall count isn't shrinking very fast. Tasks for WUs created in late October mostly have deadlines in December, though, so if the current status were maintained that long the shrink rate should accelerate. Joe
