<snip>... it occurred to me that I should maintain a personal blacklist of projects that offended me. Today, after a minimum of rest, I am thinking that this is a method I should make use of when needed, but it is on the other hand not the only way to avoid being offended.

Edit,
an addendum regarding Yoyo's policies:
Regarding ECM WUs which due to their high RAM requirements cause hosts to fall idle, and run into danger to become unresponsive because swapping is being employed if not carefully avoided by users: I am sure that Yoyo is aware that he sends WUs with such properties, since it was discussed on the yoyo@home forum before. Also, I believe that he finds it acceptable that users need to learn about, and employ, advanced workarounds to run his projects.
It is similar with how he runs YAFU. There, the partly singlethreaded, partly multithreaded jobs are not easy to control, cannot be reasonably run together with other projects, and per default introduce notable under-utilization of multiprocessor hosts. Yoyo himself mentioned in the YAFU forum that it is possible to work around this problem by overprovisioning the host (by means of artificially increased <ncpus> or/and multiple client instances), and thereby basically shrugged off this issue.
At YAFU, he also is aware of, but does not care, that credits/hour never converge for a given host. How he handles credits related issues at yoyo@home is difficult to see for the time being, since completed WUs vanish from the database almost immediately.
