contribute nothing.

Which in the early days after the Columbia's loss was even being
recommended by NASA as a great place to go to get up-to-the-minute

OM also did good research on both Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz details.
We seem to be having another outbreak of "The Era Of Bad Feelings" on
the space newsgroups at the moment, as has sometimes happened before,
and always led to more posters leaving as they got bored with people
spending all their time insulting each other rather than discussing
anything actually space related.
But maybe that shouldn't be surprising, as the whole country seems to be
in a state of constant bitching about things in general and at each
other in particular at the moment.
