Huh?
It seems to me that BOINC belongs here for the time being (for those who
choose to post here, of course).
Many Seti participants still running "stand alone" Seti (includes me) read
BOINC posts here.

BUT, nice try at a bit of self-promotion, Kirk!

Constrew it however you like, ytrewq, my main goal is to move distributed
computing software discussions to comp.distributed (which I do not own),
where they belong, and leave the SETI newsgroups for the discussion of the
science of SETI.  Discussions of the science of the BOINC SETI client (like
whether it finds Gaussians accurately or whether it should look for triplets)
belog in the SETI newsgroups.  Discussions of when the BOINC client can't
connect to the SETI@home project server or how hot it makes some users' CPUs
belong in the comp.distributed newsgroup.
