Found a Result Status "Detached", not described in FAQ [Resolved]

The Results Staus page of one of the WUs I crunched shows "Detached" in the Status field of one of the other copies of the WU. I assume that this means the member detached his BOINC client away from the WCG project(s) ."Detached" does not appear in knreed's list at BOINC: Results Status page - What does xyz status mean?
I thought it might be appropriate to add it there.

(Ideally, the people writing the FAQs would have access to the website source code so they could see the complete list of status message strings.)

Re: Found a Result Status "Detached", not described in FAQ

Rick,

The techs did not tell us which conditions were added to the list, "Aborted" another one added with last website update. The BOINC standard server software had many more than WCG was identifying on the RS page. Seen for instance elsewhere "Canceled by Server" to highlight a specific type of abort.

Hands-On crunchers would manually abort work units before "detaching" in past but newer clients are equipped to communicate the event. Works of course only if the client was on-line and obviously speeds up recycling extra copies improving batch throughput. If the client was off-line and e.g. BOINC is uninstalled, WCG would be waiting until the "No Reply" condition occurred.

Will take care of adding this one to the XYZ list.

cheers
