And you've proved that - not only against me, but anyone else you don't agree with. I notice you didn't dispute "snot nosed". I guess you agree! ID: 165523 ·

That's the same type of quote that some snot-nosed kids will use when painted into a corner. BTW, can you tell me what the real quote is and who made it? (without an internet search!) It's idiotsts like you that really distract from posts in these forums. Tell me, what in my original post pushed you into "snot nosed kid" mode? Do you dispute that Matt The sysop want's more funding to secure his salary? Do you dispute that the US governement (really the tax payers) provided funding to Boinc and Seti Boinc? Or are you just being a snot nosed kid because you think you know all and want to make anyone with a different view look bad? We all know the answer, so there's no need for a response! ID: 165540 ·

Not to mention the money that I've donated to the project by way of us government funding. Actually, there's a good point.. the project owes it to it's supporters to make financial information available (at least in the form of annual reports).. especially since the days of the enron/worldcom debacle .. there's a new word going around (not often heard at the university) .. it's "accountability". ;-) Expanding the edge of Science.

Last modified: 10 Sep 2005, 16:24:17 UTC Sometimes I even wonder why I bother trying to introduce reason. People are saying donators will use stars to be mean to people. THIS HASN'T HAPPENED YET. YOU ARE ACCUSING US OF DOING SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE NOT DONE AND MAY NEVER DO. Then, you tell us that we shouldn't have recognition for giving away some of our hard-earned money. Apparently you live in a magical fairy-world where everyone has to "feel good", so there can't be any distintions between people who have donated money and those who haven't. If you don't like my star, too bad. Matt Reread this thread It's already been done in this thread ID: 165662 ·

They attack people who selflessly donate money, and when we respond, they go "AH-HA! SEE! YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE BETER THAN US!" A brilliant plan. Really, though, I'm done with this thread. I have a green star, which means I donated some money. I think I'm better than everyone without a star. Go shine my shoes. ----- ID: 165671 ·

You don't donate by "paying taxes", you pay your taxes. You donate by digging into your pocket and sending whatever you can afford to the cause. I [ahem] give you credit, however, for "donating" your computer time, but it just does not pay the bills.... Why are those of us, who are digging into our pockets and helping the cause, so wrong in your eyes? Get a clue.... CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.
