Question for the community...

Why do you all fold? (Not really sure why I do myself!)

It costs you all a fair bit of money...you gain little from it personally...Stanford take all the credit...energy wasted vs. scientific knowledge gained really doesn't pay off.

OK, so I get the whole "community and competition" aspect of it, but still...

I just don't get it!

So, why do YOU fold?

A lot of it has been covered here over the years.

I think the thread Alan linked says it better than any single post can.

Ok, "you are not sure why you fold", got that.

It's costing you money, got that.

You get little if any personal recognition, got that also.

Stanford/VJ gets all the credit, yup, got that one too.

In a roundabout way you are concerned it's a "Green thing" and add that you "Just don't get it".

Well, I don't get it either, why do YOU as an individual fold?

I don't care who gets the credit.
I fold within my budget (there are more $$ hobbies out there)
I want to help out humanity and to be honest myself. I'm 26, and If alzheimer's is still around when I'm older and I get it.... serves me right for not trying to help find a cure.
To many people suffer from things that we now have a chance to understand and cure. That's worth a bit of money and time in my book.

Keeps the closets neat with all the towels folded.
