If I create a new group for my previous email ID's then I can't help the
RASC group which I now contribute to.  Any are welcome to join.

But when BOINC starts they will email my old email and I won't be able
to transfer my credits to the new system.

It was unfortunate that I forgot to print out my passwords before
my computer had decided to loose all my data and to boot my
ISP had closed it's doors.

Form your own personal group and add them to that.


One other problem is I have forgotten my seti@home passwords
for them. Is there away to find out what they were without having the
email go to my old defunct ISP email accounts or should I forget all
about those old sessions.

For trifling amounts, don't bother. Easiest is if you can reclaim your
old email addresses or if you can find your old passwords. Otherwise,
you might try a very polite email to s@h explaining why you are so vain
and so special.

s@h is for the *science*. The user stats are just a bit of fun.

I'd rather s@h spend their time getting BOINC up and running rather than
be distracted by sorting out sloppy users who can't be bothered to store
a password and then still expect others to waste their time to give them
their 'credits' back!

If the stats were important to you, then you would have kept the
passwords.


Enjoy the glow that you have helped a little in *REAL* science!!!

Keep crunchin',
