So if the SETI folks finally get an intelligible signal...

They're too busy squabbling right now to pay attention to it.

At least the S@H people are, for the past week.

Check out any of threads at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_forum.php?id=10
with subject words as crunc3r, on strike, tony, or words meaning immature, apology, etc.

In a nutshell, an apparently people-skills-challenged mod publicly accused a highly regarded volunteer of "cheating"
on the amount of "work" claimed by 2 of 20 pcs that look for ET.

Well, yes and no.

SETI is looking for signals that arguably have an intelligent cause, while in another corner there a very loud 'defenders of science' who say that intelligent causation can't be a scientific hypothesis.
