Phew! Have you no grasp of time and numbers!!

I didn't realise you worked for the project!  Could you tell me the

I'm not nor need to be. I just make use of publicly available knowledge. I am happy for others here to correct me if I'm wrong on whatever point.

great.  Things can be accomplished - if there is a will to do so
(THATS MY POINT!).

Yes, and usually whatever it is to be accomplished must be judged to be worthwhile and practical to gain favour.

I haven't seen 1 official member of the project here.  I have not seen
1 announcement from the project here.  My origional post asked - How
Do I Contact S@H - not 1 official member replied.

You haven't looked. Try Google Groups.

And you can contact various s@h staff if you have good reason to do so.

I would strongly dispute that this newsgroup works very well.  The
official S@H presence here is 0, just as their contactability on their
web pages is almost 0.

Perhaps your idea of what works well is not in accordance with various workings external to your idea...


[...]

garbage.  There are people in the project being paid thru grants,
there are people MAKING THEIR CAREERS off that project.

Yes, and that should be very clearly understood. For what s@h are trying to do, I am very happy to help them in their careers and their fight for this part of science. They have already made remarkable progress considering the 'politics' and technical problems against them.

Meanwhile, I fight my own fights also.


You should still be able to revel in kudos for helping a great project, even if you don't directly get your hand shaken by the great founder himself.

Join The Planetary Society for more kudos and tangible help towards s@h.

(Their special offer is still on.)


Good luck,
