Please move distributed computing discussions to comp.distributed

As a friendly suggestion, please move discussions about distributed computing
projects and clients (and the BOINC aspects of BOINC-based SETI@home) to the
comp.distributed newsgroup. You'll make the comp.distributed people happy by
giving their newsgroup more (and appropriate) traffic, and you'll make the
SETI purists here happy by not mentioning the word "BOINC" :-) Thanks!

Oh? Are there many SETI-purists who object to BOINC?

If there are they're a dying breed. Or will be soon.

Kirk, stupid request mate. SETI is moving to BOINC, therefore BOINC-based
SETI@home is on-topic for these newsgroups buddy. You want these NGs to die
in a few months when SETI classic is turned off?

Evolve or die.

Had a quick peek in that newsgroup. Not much going on. Spam mostly.

Hopefully there's been a lot of positive BOINC evolution recently!

Lots of Kirk postings.

Is distributed computing so well developed or is it discussed elsewhere?

Strange.
