What upsets me is that I've only done about 170 wu and I'm way up in the
85% area and less that 2000 of 4 Million have done this well (?).  It
seems a lot of those people do a couple of wu and quit.  It would strike
me that to maintain an accurate idea where SETI@home is going is to prune
users who have not done a wu for a certain period of time and those who
have only done a very few over an extended period.  I'm in the top 15%
for doing 170 units, thats not realistic.

Re the current discussion of how many WU/day it takes to keep
rising in the stats, I'm very close to leveled off now; it's up
then down then up, etc. The trend is still up, but not by much,
at ~24 WU/day.
