Winter Knight, Everyone knows I.D.'s M.O. He posts knowing he will get challenged. Everyone also knows he never answers a direct question.

I think everyone also knows if they stopped responding to his posts. He would go away. I can assure you that back when I was a mod that was our wish.

And dont assume that all 7 mods were in agreement. Id bet there was some heated discussions before a consensus was reached. Ive seen refferances to SCOTUS in here. Even they disagree on points of law.

I hate to see a cruncher, New or old leave. But you have to do what your heart tells you Winter Knight.


More than anything else, this.

If it's who I think, more along the lines of threads, plural. Four of them, all essentially the same, 'created' within one day.

IMHO an excellent working definition of



@ WinterKnight. I've left SAH a few times in the past so I do understand but consider this: Leaving is tantamount to letting the - person - in question win. I would postulate that a far better tactic is for everyone to not feed the troll in the first place. If everyone ignored him (with 'religious' fervour, as it were) he'll wither and fade away.

Just my 2c worth.

Mrs. aka_Sam (aka_Patrice) doesn't crunch mainly because her laptop kicked the bucket a month ago. (She may get a new one for Xmas, shhhh! don't tell!)

Is it permitted for me to let her sign up and crunch using my computer or would that be considered bad form? I do realize that I'd have to temporarily stop crunching SAH, at least until she has enough RAC to post.

I got an answer. Well, an opinion, at least.

I believe that's perfectly fine. The computer can only work on one account at a time, of course. I would suggest you set it to no new tasks and let it finish what it has on your account before switching it to hers.


Already did that. Got about 4 or 5 days left before my cache runs dry.

Thanks! I kind of figured that but wanted to check anyway. I guess if Mrs. Boss sez it's okay, 'tis good enough for us. :)

I'm no scientist but from what I understand of the thing, people off-site are many orders of magnitude more likely to be killed in a car accident than they are from some incident at CERN. Yet, I know of no one who sits up worrying at night about getting in a car crash.



I'm sure those people over there know what they're doing but one 'incident' there would have a much bigger effect than just an 'ordinary' car crash, that's for sure!


I am just trying to understand exactly what it is that you're afraid of. Earth is exposed to far more energetic particles every day than can ever be produced by CERN.

The only danger is to the taxpayer's pocketbook. (Fundamental physics is an expensive obsession.)
