I am sure we can mess with the admins, and keep them asking Dr. Anderson why we exist.

You did fill out the correct paperwork?

Are you actually part of the team already?

Did you really create a new account for the project?

I just attached today, my account page looks OK, no team listed. Every other team's page I looked at has a 'Join' link, but not KWSN's.

OK, I just joined by accessing the site through a different shrubber. Confused

I'll still need to update the BOINC manager before getting work. Thanks.
