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.

I'm sure s@h stuff that wasn't about the science was being discussed
when I first posted here five years ago. I can see your point, but
lots of newsgroups, not all of them alt.something, rarely discuss
their apparent subject

Ain't that the truth? At least this group is true to it's charter.

I feel your frustration. I have classic on a couple of machines ATM, just to
be doing something.
