I have been on board with this SETI thing since taking an interest back in 2K3. Now I understand the nature of the whole thing and the fact that it's not the most overly funded project out there which made me want to help all the more. But seriously, since 2003 there have been more time periods when the servers that dish out and receive wu's are down more than up. My question is: how hard can it REALY be to maintain a server's operational state? And no I'm not dumb to the fact that there are always ongoing technical changes being made, but man, here we are looking for extraterrestrial intelligence and we can't keep a server running...maybe ET is avoiding us on purpose!


I have been on board since the late 90's, & I for 1 think its a very worthwhile and underfunded area of study. I don't see you offering to assist in the running of the servers, or office, or website, or etc... The guy running this server is probably a bit more p*****d off than you are at the mo, so lets cut him some slack & let him get on with it.
