Points out issues with BOINC, its makers and its forums.

Regards, Jason

Well it looks like I'm not the only one who dropped out because of that 
BOINC piece of crap! I was proud to have participated in this project for 
over 7 years & even recruited others to join but no more. SETI admins, just 
how many users have you lost since the change? This "improved system" lasted 
only about a week with me. The program bogged down pc performance, refused 
to stop when screensaver disengaged, & was constantly in the way & in my 
face every time I needed to use the computer! This "improvement" ranks right 
up there with NEW COKE....how did that one go again ,oh yea alienate your 
loyal fans & turn them in to vocal opponents, loose market share, then 
relies your mistake, switch back to the original as quickly & quietly as 
possible,& FIRE THE MORON that came up with the idea in the first place! 
Wait a minute....you guys didn't hire that same idiot to "improve" SETI did 
you??? Since you do have the first part of this strategy down pat maybe you 
look into the last part.
