Aha! I already voted earlier, now I'm glad I read the thread why it was so important! ;-) Was not online for two days so I missed alot.
I'd love to start up with SETI again, along with my other new projects. Bringing them togeter under a new umbrella group name would be the best.

Thought this was kind of interesting....  I was looking through my tasks pending validation, I have all but one that have been sitting there for almost a week now....  Did some searching on the forums for the average turn-around time and if there were any issues with units getting "stuck" in pending.  
I noticed the name of each unit was a link, but never clicked on it to see what it was, it turns out it tells you how many exact copies of the unit need to return the exact results and how many copies have been issued so far.  
 
I think the common is 2 copies unless there is a mismatch in results, but there are some that need 15....  So I'm waiting on someone with either a really slow system or someone that is running a bunch of projects or that has paused/suspended WCG for most of mine still pending....

To add to that... I think this is why my points dropped about 4000 yesterday. I changed projects so I can get new Badges. And it seems not as many folks are doing those projects as they score lower and or take longer. So I now have over eight (Just started the ninth) pages in pending...
 
Good news is eventually I will get those points and have a spiked day in points. This is why it is important to look at a rolling week of production and not a day or two...

Very good read...thanks for sharing. 
 
I do like the fact that it is so easy to find out what's happening with current and past wu's that have been submitted. 

My computer finds cures for diseases and searches for aliens when I'm not gaming...what does yours do?
