Personal background
I live in Denmark. I'm 50 years old. My education and work is electronics engineer.

I have always found astronomy very interesting. I'm born on a farm far out in the country and there the night sky is quite black and you can see the stars. I can't walk under a sky filled with stars without looking up all the time and wonder. It's amazing, it is so beautifull and also so scaring. As kid I used to read books about astronomy when I went to bed and what I read and saw was so extreme big, violent and ununderstandable that I often couldn't sleep. At the same time it is so beutifull. Just realising, that you yourself is in the middle of it all and part of it can be difficulty.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
SETI is not only interesting I find. We must search for extraterrestrial intelligence. In a way we are extremly lonely here. It can't be, that life has't been created elsewhere. Maybe SETI also will help find an answer to the other big question: How life was created.

Of course we should transmit a signal for others to find. Problem is the long time the signal must be sent for any probatility at all to detect it.

SETI will take very very long time.
