Now I'm a member of SETI@Home for more than 10 years (May 26 '99 according to my certificate) and without a supergaming or $10K superSETI machine (anyone who has gotten an NVidia supercomputer (SIX CUDA cards and a supercharged I7 or 2 running a coupla 'fridges to keep from melting will probably beat my 10-year record of just over 300K Cobblestones and 8,469 Classics is probably turning out more SETI work a day than I will in my life. So *why* a team needs me is beyond me. I just keep my machines on 24/7, probably a greener move than tossing disk drives and chips every 6 months or so (excuse me if half the listings are just BOINC general listings.

Now I encourage folks to sign up with SETI, some even do - but not for competition. And if a unit of mine turns out to be the Holy Grail of Intelligent Life, well, I stopped any idea of claiming "I" found it when I stopped referring to my RPG character in the first person.

So PLEASE don't claim "points" I don't claim either. This isn't a heavy RPG - it's an attempt to make use of our unused computer cycles for stuff the government should be funding because the last wasted money killing Iraqis and OUR OWN! on the theory that somehow they had a hand in the attack by a handful of terrorists who cost me a friend (and a lot of other folks friends) 9 years ago, ruining the country's world respect, economic power, etc.etc.etc.

Hi WTP. Your view is certainly respected. The vast majority of the people who are sign up for Seti@home are just like you. But there are a few who like to play with thier computer and have spare time and resources. But the number of super cruncher, as I call them, is limited. Not too long ago someone did so statistics on who does the most work. I think it showed that the "super crunchers" only did about 10-15% of the work. The vast majority was done by people like you who have one machine. So while I like to be able to say that I have done more work than 99.some percent of all Seti@home users, I still respect those 99.some other users. Your contribution is just as importaint as mine or anyone else.
Oh, and you don't need to sign up to any of the stat sites you listed. Go to your account here at Seti@home then click on the stat site. It will show your results. It's not just for braging rights, it can also help determine if your computer is running as it should.

My reading of your post would seem to indicate concern that some of your work is being credited to teams you never signed up with.

The teams and sites you listed from the "preferences" link are simply links to sites which offer stats for BOINC users.
None of your computer time or credit is going to them.
