Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Obviously I believe in life on other planets, or I would not waste cpu time on this project.

Based on current space exploration technology I do not think that coming across a planet with some sort of inhabitants is possible. SETI is our best way of discovery.

The one benefit of discovery that I can see is trade. How ever, I do not see us or them trading any type of technology. I am thinking more along the lines of goods and services of some sort. I see it as this, on earth as we know that businesses or people do not give technology to what they would consider the "other side" which would be viewed as a competitor.

Should Humans Transmit a beacon for others to find? No, we need to put this into a smaller perspective. An Earth perspective, for the reason that this is the only way that we have for now to see it. What happened to the American Indians when America had been discovered? What makes people think that this would not happen on a much bigger scale? Then again this other species could know the value of letting bygones be bygones. Finally if what we find is anything like what humans are we should be very weary of them.

I think seti@home is the fastest way of processing this mass amount of data, and in the name of science I want to do my part. SETI is an awesome project. finding another species would be very intriguing, but also would them pose a lot of questions and hot debate.
