Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Why do you run SETI@home?
I run SETI@home, not for the statistical race, but for the science. The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence invests an insignificant amount of finite resources with the possibility to return one of the greatest scientific discoveries in the history of mankind. The discovery of an extraterrestrial civlilization would prove that such civilizations do not have to extinguish themselves, and that it is possible for a technological race to endure their "technological adolesence".

Thoughts about SETI?
Our society should put more effort into transmitting messages using high powered radio transmitters, such as the one located at Arecibo. Now that science has allowed us to make the first primative map of the Human Genome I think our civilization should consider transmitting the entire human genetic code into space. Perhaps some very advanced civilization (Type II or Type III) would intercept such a transmission and would be able to analyze its contents. Assuming their biology is based on some sort of amino acid structures they might gain significant knowledge about our species (our biology, chemistry, our very nature). Such a transmission might even assure the survival of our species if an advanced civilization could "recreate" a human using some sort of advanced biogenetic sequencing process, well in advance of anything we have now.
