OK, here's my "problem."<br>
<br>
For starters I think the Atlas project is a great thing for the<br>
Internet, and I thank my local ISP, Comcast (USA), for encouraging me to<br>
sign up.<br>
<br>
But here's the thing for me. I have so many millions of points<br>
accumulated.<br>
<br>
When I see a message on this message list about someone asking for, say<br>
20 million points, by the time I see that message, the requester has<br>
already received, typically, more than twice the number of points requested.<br>
<br>
(and I will say right now, private requests for points will be ignored)<br>
<br>
So my question becomes...<br>
<br>
I participate in this amazing project with a measurement device. But I<br>
also want to participate in the project by helping others,<br>
<br>
I guess I am asking, is there a way I can contribute points without<br>
having to check the list every hour or so?<br>
<br>
