I think many things of this..
a) If you don't find a thread interesting, don't write in it.
b) No one cares if there isn't any other form of life out there. We're at least trying to find it. As it's been said many times before, we don't care about the WU's, we care about the team spirit, because that's what we come back here for. If we cared about the WU's, we'd want to know the data analysis results and stuff like that, but we download them, crunch them, and send them.
c) People who have negative views on SETI threads shouldn't be writing in them, that's how arguments like these start.
d) If someone wants to leave our team over a very insignificant argument, then it appears their maturity is a little low to be a part of us, so maybe it's for the better. We like good results and lots of DP (In ECCp), but a team filled with bitter people will never achieve anything more than a bunch of DP's.
e) Finally, this thread should be deleted, we should get back to normal, Postman should come back with a better attitude and respect for others and their chosen DC projects, and we should get back to having fun again.
