Welcome to the 3rd instalment* of the sulking thread.

Nobody likes me,
Everybody hates me
I'm going down the garden to eat worms.
Long thin slimy ones,
Slip down easily,
Big fat hairy ones
Stick behind your teeth.



I'm sulking, please feel free to join me with your sulks here.

..and please..no fighting.

*For exemplar examples of previous sulks please see the Sulking thread II, now closed but still available for your viewing pleasure.

I'm sulking because I've been accused of being in a conspiracy with all of the TFFE except those in the TFFE who are not in a conspiracy with me and those who are in a conspiracy with me but aren't in the TFFE.. I hope that makes more sense to you than it does to me.

Anyway, it seems there is nothing I can do about it, so I'm going to sulk and wallow in all the minuses I'm about to get...

Let's see 12 hours ago you told your team founder you were going to knock it off. Guess you couldn't let it alone could you?

Robert

Please let it lie.

This subject has been aired to death and egos bent.

Give it a rest and let the dust settle!

Please.

It is history now!

Also, for that matter... this is the Sulking thread. Treat it as such!
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Good, I'll sulk here then that her egowon't let her stop the trolling after dozens of people have posted in the other forums. I kept my end of the deal and she breached the peace. You tellher to knock it off if you're so emphatic about it. Have a read in the other thread. Seeems ALOT of people have made their opinions clear. Democracy in action.

The points I made to Robert equally apply to you!

You may think there is something to keep on about, but it's all history now.

Please both of you, and any others with a similar view, let it lie!!

Excellent way to use the thread and keep your point. Make it a sulk! This way your point could be made, and still keep to the rationale of the thread.

I will not say any more here!

NOTE: I am very sure that Kaleste is aware of support from you two, as, I am sure she is lurking!!

My RAC is going up and down in a wierd fashion! The only compensation is the number of pending WUs is also rising. So, at least when these are tallied I will get the credit. But my RAC should be at least 100 points higher!!

I am sulking that this simple number is causing me so much sulking. I need to review my priorities as this is really effecting me badly! Perhaps I need to get a life?

John, I heard this will stabalize once enhanced is more thoroughly distributed and the 5.6 app is out. Or are you using that already?

Thanks Robert, this is a tongue-in-the-cheek!

I have not yet initiated my gradual move to Enhanced as I want to give the WU distribution system a week or so to settle down. I'll probably start the move over late next week!

Interestingly the RAC up and down is affecting SETI 4.11/4.18 client users like myself as well. Probably, as you point out, due to Enhanced, as a result of the numbers completing WU returns before credit is awarded, and the servers making th connections.

I think the store of completed results will rise dramatically when the mass move across is under way? I have nearly 2,000 cobblestones claimed in my pending store now!

Thanks HomeGnome, you made me smile and nearly ruined my sulk. I may have to sulk about that.

I might be needing a new team soon if my team founder (Keith Stanley) gets so annoyed with me for bringing the team into disrepute that he throws me out.

There are no conspiracies at TFFE, all we do is get together, tell jokes and talk about sheep and be very silly. :-)

Damn! You ruined a perfectly good sulk!! I'm smiling now!!

Darn! I ruined your sulk, how clumsy of me! In theory this should give you another reason to sulk :-) See it from the bright side (or the dark side if you prefer...)

I'm still tickled at the fact that your choice of drinks in an Innuendo thread raised the reaction that it did. Kinda makes you wonder whether some people actually do exist in the real world...

oops, sorry, supposed to be sulking....hmmm....Nope, sorry, can't find anything to sulk about at the moment, but I'm sure something will come up....oops, pls excuse the innuendo ppl...lol
