Great idea, please take your geeky OT crap elsewhere.

Sorry, everybody, for the CPDN stuff. This seems to be starting to be a bit
of an issue here, as questions come in concerning other BOINC projects. I've
tried to avoid any other proj discussions, as much as possible. I think this
issue MAY grow as BOINC's popularity and proj base grows.

Here are some scenarios I can envision to (possibly) avoid this:

1]  Tossing 'cross project' BOINC topics to comp.distributed. - At this time

"1" is likely the best option to generate some traffic on there even if 
a little OT. Then again, is there a newsgroup already active suitable 
for Climate Prediction? (Similar to how alt.sci.seti supports the s@h 
stuff?)


Cheers,
