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.

My Clinic account has 502 results; it's ahead of 93.094% at 321429th
place (with 497 other people).

Personally, I don't think anyone should be listed as a user until
they return their first result. However, I'm not running the project,
and I'll go with whatever decision they make. Just give me more stuff
to process....   :-)

I agree, you shouldn't be listed as a user until you have returned a unit.
