Personal background
I live in the northwestern part of Montana. We have all four seasons here. Many lakes, mountains, and lots of evergreen trees. I enjoy hiking, camping, and some hunting outside, and running the flight simulator on the computer inside. I served ten years in the USAF where I worked in air cargo for awhile, then moved into computer operations, then into computer programming. Today I work as a computer programmer where I write and maintain accounting software for many schools here in Montana. I enjoy watching Star Trek (all of them) and many other space related shows, along with shows like Sabrina, Charmed, and shows like that.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I do believe there is life (of one form or another) out there somewhere. I don\\'t know if we\\'ll hear them through SETI, but it is worth a try. I think for the most part, humans are not afraid of alien life. Whether the aliens just know we exist or come to Earth in person. Good or bad, we will meet them head on. I believe the odds are more in favor of the aliens being good more so then bad. (To keep this short, I\\'m not going to define what is good and what is bad. Since 911 we all know not all of us on this planet see good and bad the same way.)
I think SETI is a marvelous experiment. I\\'m especially pleased at the global participation. It is so neat that so many from all parts of the globe have come together like this. Since I can not go into space myself, a program like SETI provides a way I might participate in space exploration. It may not be much, but its something. It beats only looking at the stars and wondering.
Blessed Be.
