In Response To: Mystery of Lost SETI units solved? (Louis Wu)
> In doing a bit of research as to why we keep "losing"
> work units on the Halo SETI team, I ran across this pair of
> tidbits from the SETI@home Technical News Reports : June
> 16, 1999 Due to popular demand, we reset the group credits (CPU
> time, #results) to the sum of the credits of all people
> belonging to the group. June 15, 1999 Accounting for groups has
> not been working correctly. Credit was being added when people
> originally joined, but not for their work thereafter. This is
> now fixed, but we can't restore the missing credits. This might
> suggest what's happening to us here. Sounds like another reset
> is in order... maybe Mad Max (the group founder) should send a
> note to the SETI folks? Just a thought...
