I can't understand why you guys still want to look at mollies !!!???

Because it represents all work that has been done, not just a portion of it. However, points are useful for judging the quality of the work.

All of the work done, sure, including a lot of trials and beta testing way back. when some molecules were processed very very fast indeed, IF I have understood it correctly.

But I can't for the life of me understand why you are talking about "quality". QUALITY ??? In all the discussions when points came in as the "official" measuring stick, so far as I can remember I have never seen that word used before.

Broadly speaking, POINTS = CPU POWER x TIME SPENT. Can you get any fairer than that ? Any shortage you have in CPU power with 100+ members you guys can make up for in time spent.

OK. I'm not a team member, but I would guess that apart from you and Statsman, nobody else looks at mollies any more. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON THAT POINTS WERE INTRODUCED !!!
Wakey Wakey !!!

TT, IMO, mollies are a better judge of our work. By its very definition, a "point" is something derived from another figure. The definitive standard is mollies. I dont give a d*** how many points I've earned, just how many mollies I've crunched. Plus there was the issue that you could inflate your points using certain OS's, making it unreliable. It would seem the team shares this belief, otherwise we would use points.

tony, likewise selecting only the fastest running molecules could artificially inflate your stats (this happened) however points showed this is what was happening, IMO points are a better measure of your contribution, since it represents ACTUAL calulation, a fast computer could take longer on a single job then a slow one would on a different one, I just had one run for 5 days on an XP1600, it was 17,438 points, but only 9,589 molecules.

Tony, it's your and your teammates' opinions which count here, not mine, so I'm not going to argue the toss with you. That's something for you to do among yourselves obviously.
