It seems I'm in the middle of analysing a

Good science involves multiple checking of data to ensure no random 
factor messed up the first analsis. Keep chugging the one you have (I'm 
doing one from last October now).

Nice to see that you people are so trusting.  Fact is, this current
set of work units hasn't changed in over a month and a half.  Chances
are every one of them has been processed *hundreds* of times, and
we're all just a bunch of suckers wasting electricity out here.  See
the earlier thread with the subject "Are we spinning our wheels?" for
a bit more background.

I'm packing it in.
