(moderation:
My machine got paired on a WU with one of those recently, and I looked at all that crunching power just out of curiosity. More than 1400 computers hooked to E@A - nice, of course, but... about half of the hosts have very low credit, or no credit at all. WUs are being sent to them, and 2 weeks later (after the sad No Reply event) they are resent to other crunchers.
So thanks for the contribution, buddies, whoever you are but is there any sense in this kind of "help"?

No point getting WU downloads , if you cant process them.

Yes, it's frustrating to watch how pending WUs are piling up, and the estimated time for S5 is growing on ominously. Well, patience IS a virtue. :)

The email address has vanished from his profile - well, the whole profile has disappeared: is that a side-effect of the message board software changes we've seen over the last few days? - but I still had it from last time. I've mailed him, again.
