F@H is very clumsy exactly why i prefer WCG, and the cause is just as important as FAH  In fact a few months ago i got an email congratulating me (while it may be automated its was done for a reason)on my work on a project that really did help further knowledge in research. I'd paste the email but i dont have it anymore
