I will when I can.
Someday I would like to get a "Thanks for the 24/7/365 processing!" but, then again, it's what we join the project for, so no problem.

No problem. I just needed someone to remind me to renew for 2007 :)

It's always difficult to find extra money for this sort of thing, but at the end of the day this is a contribution to science and there isn't anything else scientific that I am lending a hand to.

So why not give something to SETI if only as the only token you have that you support scientific research.

I have just sent another $500 donation via Amex ... recorded on my latest statement as having been received on 19th December ...
and guess what ... NO recognition ... despite my writing and asking ...
Guess again what?
That is the last one they get until they DO recognise my donations

Hey Bodley, I see your green star and what can I say? but fantastic donation, very impressive. I can only afford way much less than that, and to be honest the green star club insignia is all I want to make me happy. I don't know what recognition you expected, perhaps you could say?

Hey Ice ... when you click on your donations it tells you how much you have sent, historically.
I am not interested in the Green Star here ...
it is the tracking of my donations that I am up in arms about.
The green star is there. YOU will never see the total of my donations ... in fact, I am STILL to be
credited in my account with $180 I sent back in July!
I am lacked off ...
and NO amount of schmaltzy words by Lena or her like will change my view.
I promised Berkeley $500 per month. That they cannot even record my donations (which only I see) does
not make me a happy rabbit. BTW - nah! forget it ... I was going to take a cheap shot at Lena ... !

No, I think you have a good point Bodley. If I were making that sort of monthly payment, then the least SETI could do was record against my personal profile so that I could track it. I hope someone will pick this up and contact you privately about it to make sure you are satisfied that all is handled at their end. $500 is more than worth a bit of attention. Fuzzy, can you make sure this is looked at and somebody ensures that Bodely's private profile is updated accordingly? Thanks.

The two places, the green star people and the money people are not the same people. BUT if you are STILL waiting for a note recognizing a July donation, you should send a note to Eric K. or David A. or even Matt L. to make sure things are working as they should be!!!
Matt L. is here: mattl at ssl dot berkeley dot edu
David A. is here: davea at ssl dot berkeley dot edu
Eric k. is here: korpela at ssl dot berkeley dot edu
I am sure ALL have spam filters so be patient while they get to you. If you would like email the setimods and I will forward it on to Eric K.

I'll send a note to Eric to point his attention to this.

Taking cheap shots at me, well, what can I say? ...

But thank you very much for your donations, it's very much appreciated.

Hey Bodley,

I've been going through the donors mail and I don't see your request. Write directly to me... korpela at ssl dot berkeley dot edu with your request.

Is this an automated donation or was it done through the web interface?

@ Eric K. Thankyou for replying to Bodley publicly. You're a very busy man, and that's a very welcome hands on, which I am sure is much appreciated.

@ Ice. Whats a blue star???

There is no blue star. I was founder of the 'Greenpeace' team in BBC CCE, and after I moved here and got my star I was amused that it was green. So jokingly I have asked for a blue one.
