BTW, I have some targets in mind, but haven't settled one yet.

That's okay, I'm guessing most people do that, most just don't admit it!
When I win I pick a couple of things that will end the game, ie number of posts, but if that happens in 2 days what's the point? I also pick a date, an event, a key word, something else that can be a little further away, but not so far as to make the game boring a exhaustively long.

I do have one game I am running where there are only 2 of us playing, so it could go on for YEARS, what would be the point if it ended?

Oooooooooh... another philosophy question! I'm starting to really get into those :)

@MAGIC - terrible news :(

@Chris - as long as contentious stuff was popped on a seti board, we probably could discuss, but it's such a mess and so sad, I wouldn't know where to start :(

Hope Mike is enjoying the start of his holiday. He really needs it I think :) and that you're all having a nice weekend :)

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

I made a start by posting in that "Dreaded Place". I really didn't want to, but the issue is so serious I felt that I just had to. And updated my profile too. terrible wherever it happens, but all too close to home for us.

Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)

You'd think they'd have got it right by now

I never remember profiles

I never remember profiles until someone mentions profiles. Then I think I should probably do one but don't - which is when I forget to remember profiles again... until someone mentions them again, of course, which is when I think I really should do one but don't... stop me if you've heard this before... because I forgot. I suppose in the time it took me to write that I could have written one... or a bit of one...

@Ddavidd: It's hard to be angry surrounded by dandelions :)

edit: forgot to say something - you posted in the dreaded place, Chriis? I forgot I was going to shove my nose in there last week. Not sure I want to after I saw something in the cafe that got moved there... is it quite grim? The board?

I think it would be a bit

I think it would be a bit inappropriate here in Einstein to go into details about the boards on another Boinc Project. But yes, it can be a bit dire. You best bet is to lurk there for a while and make your own mind up about it. I'll PM you in the meantime.

I don't know how grim it actually is because I never go there, on the assumption that I would get horribly pissed off and not be able to sleep.

Which is why I haven't been there either :)

Depends what you call fun

Depends what you call fun Gary! I think that our Annie is just too nice a person to stick her head in there and get it bitten off. Yes she is a big girl now that could hold her corner, but I think that she would be genuinely disappointed at what she sees and hears from her fellow humans. I can hold my own there and have done, but I simply choose not to bother any more, except on special occasions.
