As a friendly suggestion, please move discussions about

You'll make the comp.distributed people happy by giving their
newsgroup more (and appropriate) traffic, and you'll make the
SETI purists here happy by not mentioning the word "BOINC" :-)
Thanks!

Oh? Are there many SETI-purists who object to BOINC?

If there are they're a dying breed. Or will be soon.

Kirk, stupid request mate. SETI is moving to BOINC, therefore
BOINC-based SETI@home is on-topic for these newsgroups buddy. You
want these NGs to die in a few months when SETI classic is turned
off?

Had a quick peek in that newsgroup. Not much going on. Spam mostly.
