It's indeed frighteningly quiet in here. Hopefully that's because
everything SetiBOINC related is running smoothly and without any
problems for everyone. ;)

Hopefully.

Have you browsed the Web forums recently?

No, I've always had a irrational dislike for web forums of any kind, 
prefering usenet by far. Don't know why, guess it's something to do with web 
chat rooms and association... <shrug> I'll get therapy. <g>

There's an enormous amount
of traffic there, even though it only represents a small fraction of
the user base. Most of the technical problems can be attributed to the
mostly aging, donated or recycled, and bodged-together servers in the
back end, and the lack of staff to simultaneously nurse these systems
along and advance the project's software-development and
results-analysis efforts. There's a saying, something to do with
alligators and a drainage project ... ;)

Indeed.
