Personal background
Mike Andruschak, vintage 1946, aging well, not ready to be bottled.

Entered the U.S.Air Force April 1, 1966 and became a communications technician.
Which I have remained ever since. I install and maintain layer one.

Started in home computing in 1981. Started a BBS in 1982. Have been a moderator with the Intelec Network and DSLReports.com. Am now the owner/admin of DSLRetorts.com -- for when tech support fails.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
There have been experiments and studies that seem to indicate that life will arise any time conditions permit. Life is change. Change is evolution. Intelligence is such a strong survival factor that it is inevitable that it will arise.

Find it? It's a big universe in both space and time. We are looking for a needle in a planet of hay. But the benefit of the discovery of extraterrestial life is so great that we would be foolish not to look. For finding such would mean that we are not a fluke. That we have brothers beyond our tiny backwater planet. The only danger would be to organized religion -- and they would recover just as they have with all of the other glitches they have faced.

Transmit a beacon. Sure. All it need say is "HI!" Like walking through the fog and passing another and nodding "... You are not alone...."
