You've gotta wonder who crunched that WU.

The Planetary Society article in response to the signal.

The BBC says

Quote
Speaking to BBC News Online from the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico, where he is preparing an observing run to follow up Seti@home analysis, Dr Wertheimer said: "It's all hype. We don't have anything we are excited about.

"At the moment, we have no candidates that we are particularly excited about and the new 'signal' is not a priority."

He continued: "With Seti@home having analysed some 50 trillion frequency bands, it is not surprising that a signal like this occurs purely due to chance."

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.
