I've been crunching WU's for Seti@Home now for four years.  Lately I've
begun to wonder as BIONIC gets ready to roll out is Seti dying?  The number
of dedicated data crunchers continues to inch up to 5 million users, yet
over the last month I've watched my registration class shink my over 40
users and seen many Seti Newgroup users say farewell to the project.

  Although all looks good as the numbers grow, how long can the project live
and how effective can it remain if it continues to lose its core base of
dedicated crunchers that have helped it survive all these years?

  I welcome the new users, but if  Seti can't find away to keep its most
dedicated supporters, what future can they have?
