7647 - no description

While I do not have any reason to doubt that projects associated with FAH go to generally beneficial ends, it still feels rather odd to fold a project with no description whatsoever, save for a short bio of the project manager. Is there a reason some projects lack descriptions?

Each scientist is responsible for making the description for their own projects. That one belongs to TJ Lane, and apparently he forgot or something like that.
I think they should all have descriptions, you're right.

Yes, there are reasons that not all projectes will have discriptions, no matter what Jesse thinks. ;)

I was just agreeing with the opinion, but all right. If you don't mind, I'd be very interested to know what the reasons are.

Apparently, someone is listening:

Or do you mean a more detailed one?

Odd how? Like the project is trying to sneak one passed us? One what?

Rather than just reporting a missing desciption directly, you started with a comment about trust. Clearly you have some questions about trust in fah. Please ask those questions so they can be addressed.

FYI: this is one WU in a long series... He probably cut and pasted one too few times to get descriptions put on each Proj #. http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=21538
