Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's not worth it for most people to run NPLB as a primary project...that's entirely a matter of preference and our regulars would surely disagree. I would argue that producing a true and accurate list of prime numbers is of greater importance to society than a long-shot search for extraterrestrial life--but of course this is just my opinion and others have different preferences in project choices. As distributed computing is largely a purely hobby pursuit, a choice between projects is often less about which is more useful for society and more about which is most personally fulfilling to those running it.

No, I am not who you claim I am.
Ah, okay...no problem. Just had to be sure...
