We need to remember that all of the "pop up" suggestions assume that BOINCMGR is running *and* that someone is looking.
Notices through system generated forum PMs assume that someone checks into the forums (and I no longer follow the forums). Notices via E-Mail assume a valid E-Mail address. That's why the mechanism has to work without human intervention: we can't be sure that the people will even care. ... and one work unit per day isn't much of a limit for a project like CPDN.
