SETI@Home needs your help!

XJR-Maniac:
HELLO!

WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO ANSWER MY QUESTION?
IF NOT I HAVE TO GUESS THAT I'VE BEEN CHEATED!

SO GUESS WHAT'S NEXT!

THANK YOU!

Simon:
Could you tone it down a little maybe?

A) no, you have not been cheated.
B) donor data gets transferred once every week or ten days, time permitting.
C) it then has to get imported by someone at SETI@Home

This question has been asked AND answered many times in many places, including this forum.

So please, let's stay civilized and not start accusing people of cheating, shall we.

Your green star will show up, provided you have donated at least 10 USD.

So, what's next then?

Regards,
Simon.

XJR-Maniac:
Thank you for your answer.

So, was it really that hard to give that answer to me?
Why does s/o always have to shout to be heard?
Do you really think it is very civilized to ignore s/o question,
even if it's asked a thousand times?

I don't think it is very polite to ignore s/o, no matter what
those stupid forum rules or something else says. I've wasted
too much time in all those forums searching for answers whilst
there was someone who can help me whithin a few seconds.

And if my question is asked and answered so many times, why
is there no sticky thread for it or a note right beneath the donation
form?

Thanks again for your reply
May the force be with you

Simon:
Well,

you didn't have to shout to be heard. I read your initial message and sent the donation data up to that point pretty immediately after.

What I didn't have, then, and often do not, is the time to come back and post about it. I have a full time job, this (pretty time-consuming) hobby of mine (lunatics.at) as well as a few others, and on top of that I'm trying to have some semblance of a life ;)

Also - I may not be around every day, sometimes I may be away for up to a week on business. There is no guarantee of a 24-hour response, or anything - nor will there be. So some delays may happen, but no, you did not need to post in a rather harsh tone (and all caps/shouting) - the same message in a normal tone asking why there had been no response would have been enough...

Anyway,
may the Schwartz, er, Force be with you always ;)

Hi Simon,
today i got the info that PAYPAL will be listed as an international bank from July 2007 on. Will that change anything for this donation method to Seti@home ?

Hallo Simon,
ich habe heute erfahren, daß PAYPAL ab Anfang Juli als internationale Bank geführt wird. Wird sich dadurch irgendetwas an diesem Weg für Seti@home zu spenden ändern ?
