    I hate to agree, because it's scientifically interesting, but you're probably right.
    We'll see what they do with the issue of Fozzie's purloined points.

    Well

    I've detached the project and won't reattach it anytime soon, aprt from the Xeon to show Travis what it is capable of, for the weekend anyway.

    To erase all my work especially as I ran the project exclusively on that box sucks the big fat one IMHO, he should have entered into some sort of communication.

    I've done the same. Maybe when it matures we can re-think it over.

    Hey, Fozz. 7,611 points is not too shabby for a single post!

    (Especially when it's more than my 3 days' running total!)

    Talking

    I do have the thought that some of the errors are caused by the app.

    I have not known of a project that has had so many strainge results from the users.

    Some results were so over the top that no one could have thought that they would get away with it.

    Normal points awarded were between 1 - 2. the highest score for one wu was over 787,000.

    i would lean toward a project problem, not a users one
