Qui Gon has raised questions about "advertising" in message 980032 in thread 59138. Since his post is, and any replies there would be. off topic I have created this thread to continue the discussion (if he or anybody else wishes.) Mods are welcome to move other posts to this thread if they feel that is appropriate. Gee, does no one have a rebuttal regarding this being an advertisement I just wonder why you have waited until now to try to stamp out advertising on seti@home. If you seriously think the thread mentioned above is "advertising" (which I don't believe for a moment) then why have you not started long ago on other similar postings, such as:

Qui-Gon has been recently active in the forum and has had plenty of time to respond here if he so wished. Since the thread I referred to is now closed (in fact while I was writing the original post,) further discussion, likely to use it as an example, will probably be counterproductive. Mods please close this thread. |
