Having someone express their opinion in public; as you have also done; should not subject them to belittling.
Also, is it really necessary for you to append your emails with your PGP signature?

If the COMPASS team is looking for someone (or more) radioamateurs all around the world in assisting with command and telemetry using our amateur ground stations built using our amateur money in my opinion the COMPASS-1 scientific organization should donate contributions to AMSAT in order to buid our communication satellites.
Is the COMPASS-1 scientific organization in Germany donating contributions to AMSAT-DL to build P3-E or not ?
Last I checked Amateur Radio is science. I think as Radio Amateurs we should be more then willing to assist the science community at large. Asking for Quid Pro Quo is childish and silly and reflects badly on the entire community.
