The Raccoon Lovers have put up a most valiant fight. Very fine effort, and Angela's team is most worthy. I shall crunch for you for a few weeks to recognize your significant efforts in the auction. Starting now. Meow. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I'm having a headache. Please keep the thread civil, or the mods may decide it was unwise to reopen this thread. The NC one is waiting for Angela, btw. What a mess... A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. (Mark Twain) |

Chris, I asked for confirmations to be posted in N/C. I don't want to open a new thread for that. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

I avoid to put any msg on the open foums anymore but... I want to congrats Angela and his small team & friends who fight clean and don´t deserve what happening. At the end the SETI wins of course, but in my opinion there are a lot of better ways to do that. I´m sure no one of my team mates do nothing wrong in the auction but something we must learn from this event, the use of the work "IF" is dangerous in an auction bids. |

Oh dear. I haven't been reading the NC thread. I was wondering if it was premature to lock it here; I didn't know there was a good reason for it. (I think I still won't read it there.)

Hello Friends!!! Eric and I were out of state this weekend, so we were unable to follow the auction closely. We are home now and I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to the GPUUG for maintaining kitty crunching privileges. I always enjoy spirited competition and this auction delivered plenty of it!!! Thank you to ALL the crunchers who participated in this auction and thank you also to ALL seti@home crunchers who give so generously and so tirelessly of their time, talents, efforts and energy to further this project. You all rock!!! |

And the kitties would wish again to thank all who participated. Even those who just yelled obscenities from the sidelines....LOL. But especially Angela. Her inspiration in creating a new team to participate in the event made it what it was. And her gracious address from the 2nd place podium was exemplary. Thank you everybody!! Meow for now.

Raccoon Lovers now number 15 members and we are #31 in the Team Stats. What a meteoric rise!!! I see that the auction thread in Number Crunching has been closed because Uli has confirmed all donations. Thank you again to all who gave so generously of their time and resources to participate in this fun fund raiser. Mark, I shall be sad to see you leave the Raccoon Lovers Team this weekend. |

Thank you again to all who gave so generously of their time and resources to participate in this fun fund raiser. Not this weekend, dearest Angela. The kitties will stick around until around the 15th or so. And they are most happy to give the Raccoon Lovers a nice boost to get their team off to a most successful start. The auction did not require it, but I thought it appropriate to congratulate and thank you in such fashion for such a fine showing in the auction. And such a fine bunch of folks as well. The winning GPUUG shall get their due soon enough indeed. BTW, this afternoon, Eric and the rest of the staff got AP working again, and the kitties got a very nice batch of AP credits that had backed up a bit since the power outage. Should be a very good day for the kitties and the raccoons. See, they don't mind sharing so much...... Meowmeowmeow. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I do wonder about people who take the credits seriously, they must be like "Who are the Raccoon Lovers"? And were did they come from, LOL :) Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. |
