Personal background
I'm a medical school hopeful from the University of Calgary in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. My hobbies include reading, mostly textbooks and stuff, listening to music, tweaking my computers, science, and... um... oh yeah! distributed computing projects!
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. I run SETI@Home in the hopes that I'll be the one to discover a signal from a lifeform that evolved somewhere other than Earth. Why else?

2. It'll be an interesting day when humanity finds the proof that we aren't alone out here. In a universe this big there must be some other life somewhere out there.

3. If you used more observatories you could use the method of interferometry to synthesize a much bigger telescope than the Arecibo, allowing you to detect even longer wavelength radiation. It probably wouldn't improve the sensitivity very much though, since you can't catch radiation between the arrays. Ever thought of building a space based radio observatory? That would allow you to observe frequencies that are blocked by the atmosphere.
