They won't ask for your patience. Your blood pressure will go down. You will have less stress in your life. You will live longer. Others will thank you. It can lead to global peace and harmony. It is so simple to do. Just press detach. Your troubles will all be gone! Please, just press detach! |

Just curious what motivated this, Since it is not a reply to anyone. So.. even though the complaints did get people to look at what was happening, even though the response has been a bit minimal.. it was at least honest. But you have not chased enough people out the door yet? I give you an A+ on effort.. But I am curious on your motivation. I mean, it can not be to create a more positive atmosphere, because this is more negative than anything I have posted. And I give no pretense to blind loyalty. Why are you here? Again.. just curious. It is fascinating. You have my attention. That is what you wanted isn't it? Janice |

Well, I'm not going to detach, but I will just run my caches down and not re-fill them. From the front page: New Outage Schedule Apparently, there are just too many people crunching for SETI@home (what a problem to have), and they don't need my puny contributions. Heck, they don't need anything from anybody three days a week (maybe more). It's going to be fun trying to get more work after a three day outage (maybe more); they can do their science better when no one is bothering them with silly questions about why the servers are down, why results return computation errors, why, why, why is it that . . . Matt has pretty much given up posting Technical News, and no one else is helping with any regularity. There doesn't seem to be much to tell except that the old equipment they are using is pretty regularly broken. Anyway, this will leave a small fraction more work for the "power-crunchers", of which I am not one. Oh, heck, I may leave one machine crunching, just so I can participate in these boards when someone pisses me off in Politics, but if I do, it won't run 24/7. My wife will be happy about that and my electric bill will certainly show the difference. |

Heck, they don't need anything from anybody three days a week (maybe more). It's going to be fun trying to get more work after a three day outage (maybe more); You can still crunch what you can get, 24/7 if you get enough. BOINC will look after all that. Just make sure you have an extra project or two attached. Oh, heck, I may leave one machine crunching, just so I can participate in these boards when someone pisses me off in Politics, That's the spirit! Count me in too, for whatever bits of work I get,and as an excuse to bug people on the Forums. |

ladies, gentlemen and my fellow marsupials, i'd really appreciate reading a thread that doesn't devolve into a flame war. |

ladies, gentlemen and my fellow marsupials, See? I'm annoying people already. |

ladies, gentlemen and my fellow marsupials, I didn't mean my post as a flame. I thought I gave a rather thoughtful, calm reply to the subject of the thread. |

everything but an answer. Now you are demanding an answer. That is a dangerous thing to do. First, I started a new thread because I didn't want to appear to pick on any one person. Second, the anger is directed at those persons who can't RTFM. Third, why am I here, to find ET. Isn't that why everyone is here? If they aren't, I'd suggest they press DETACH. |

If they aren't, I'd suggest they press DETACH. Is it OK to stay here to find ET AND annoy people? |
