    So, "yoyo@home" became a top team on dNET, instead of the users getting the points for their own team.
    From what I recall, yoyo attempted to work with dnet so that the points were credited to individual users on dnet itself, but they were unwilling to make this happen. It was impossible to achieve without their help.

    Recommend: stay FAR AWAY from any project that this "yoyo" character is involved in.
    I, personally, think yoyo has done a great job with his projects and helping move BOINC itself forward.

    Well. I don't agree.

    The non-BOINC projects - dNET, MUON, etc. - should accumulate the stats on their site, in their native mode.

    If yoyo can't accomodate that with his wrapper stuff, then he should just leave it alone, and go on to something else.

    He seems to play pretty fast and loose with user/team/project relationships.

    Well I have a different opinion and it seems that we do not come together. So let the users decide. The users who do not like yoyo@home will probably not join.

    bye
