Because donating cpu-time seemed like the easier way for me to contribute to progress. Than it is to donate some amount of cash, that to be honest I need myself more, to some cause with "very persuasive arguments".

That last bit would of course refer to telemarketing practices which involves being or getting harassed by people (who are just trying to earn their pay aka students and the likes) telling me or trying to convince me of the why and how it is necessary for this or that goal to spend a measly €2 a month.

Well in all honesty I don't believe I have to pay "interest" for "feeling guilty". IMHO the best way to deal with that feeling is to actually stop the talking and do the walking (this in a passive way of course)

So why Einstein@home? Well I have always taken an interest in the works of space, time and gravity, most of the theories and even their explanation(s) go way beyond me, but that won't stop me from helping out in this fashion.

So keep it up!

Kindest regards,

Alex
