I think if we all let our automated programs do as they please, since they
wait an hour between connection retries, though of course that just means
that everyone will try to reconnect within an hour. With luck some people
have just killed their setiathome process and will forget about it within a
few days, apart from die hard setiathome users, and lets face it, they won't
be stopped from banging on the server's doors within nanoseconds of it being
reachable again.
