Just curious maybe someone can correct me
if I am wrong, but the sign up for E@H alpha/
beta testing began around the end of July. I
recall signing up at the end of July or early
August, and never recieved any invitation to
do alpha/beta testing that began last month.
Since that time, actually in the last 8 days
I have signed up using four different email
addresses. What really gets me is a jerk like
Guido gets picked only weeks after signing up.
I have been reading the boards over at E@H,
and sure enough Guido is posting his silly
posts with the silly pictures.

One of the benefits of a democracy is the right of free speech/expression - within certain limits. As Einstein@Home is based in the U.S.A.; I doubt if they are too concerned over it especially as it is alpha phase and needs to be tested to the extreme. Mr. Waldenmeier, I am certain, is quite willing to assist in this.

Mr. Utzig,

I am well aware of the rights to free speech and expression, and all of
the other benefits of a Democracy. I am an American, I lived in the U.S.
for 46 years, now I have chosen to live out the rest of my days living
and working in China.

No Malice intended, but Guido is a jerk.....
God Bless America.....

Remember that the right to Free Speech is not absolute. You are not allowed to yell "Fire" in a crowded theater -- at least not without consequences.

Free Speech also does not guarantee an audience -- or a forum.

Ok, then, malice is intended, honestly. Guido is a jerk.

...and in the land of free speech I don't expect anyone to complain about that statement. Of course, if you do, then it calls into question the principle.

As always, rights carry responsibilities. The right to free speech carries with it a responsibility to use some common sense. The right to bear arms carries with it a responsibilty not to use them recklessly - unless murder is no longer a crime in the US. Need I go on?

Mr. Utzig,

I think you missd the key phrase in my post "now I have(chosen)to live out the rest of my days living, and working in China". Chosen as in free choice.....
Mr. Utzig, it's called adventure, choosing to live here has been a wonderful
experience, a once in a lifetime opportunity actually. Choosing to live in China
does not exclude the fact that I still love America. Utzig...hmmmmm....doesn't
sound like your typical French Canadian name, maybe you are perchance German,
like Guido? Oh, excuse me...we really don't know what Guido is....nationality
that is, but we do however know he is a jerk. Of course hyprocrisy does not
interest you, but I have not been hypocritical. Enjoy the weather in Canada,
which by the way is a beautiful country, I love Quebec....eh.

Thank you but from your above statements I am suspect about your statement of 'love'.

As i have said before, it must be pure luck or they simply just took the last 100 or so that subscript. Sound like it is the new subscribers who gets lucky. :'(

Sorry Utzig am not a missionary, I am a computer helpdesk technician.

Actually, America is the most ethnically diverse country on earth

Racist commentary? I've read horror stories about how the Chinese are
treated in Toronto....

Not a racist, my first wife was African American, I am Italian by heritage,
my present wife is Chinese. Utzig I grew up in the ghetto, in other words
I grew up in hell.....my grandmother had more attitude than you.

I never called for his asassination, maybe you're the racist.

Meaning enjoy the weather, which part of that didn't you understand?

***Beep, not quite true. In numbers, yes - in percentages no - Canada has more immigrants than the U.S. does in percentages but the U.S. has more in total.***

> Racist commentary? I've read horror stories about how the Chinese are treated in Toronto....

***Which explains the way you write about Mr. Waldenmeier and your infantile whine about not getting into Einstein@Home yet.***

> I never called for his asassination, maybe you're the racist.

***I never stated you did. Why so defensive?***

> Meaning enjoy the weather, which part of that didn't you understand?

No, just the two that were writing about killing Mr. Waldenmeier and, perhaps, you now.
