Personal background
Well I'm a computer geek, have been since the late 80's. I still get a kick out of playing online games like Quake 3. My online Aliases are DooMer or JohnnyBravo.

I'm from Montreal Canada, lived here all my life. I have a wonderful daughter, and the best wife in the world...ur um universe!

I'm currently self employed, trying to start up my business which is Quality Management Consulting and Programming.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
SETI is a great project and just shows how teamwork is important. I'm glad to see all these countries participating in such a project with one common goal. We all know it exists...well at least the ones who understand science and are not clouded by religious false beliefs.

When will we discover if ET exists? I'm sure that it will be discovered by one of our projects to MARS. Since it's should result in more tanglible evidence. However it shouldn't be much longer for this project to find signals from another civilization(5 to 10 years), however i'm sure it would be a signal which we won't be able to decphire or even pinpoint.

Dangers or benefits, well one wouldn't want to find the borg!
I can only assume that it would or might have a positive reaction on humans, and perhaps bring us all a little closer to one another.

Should we transmit a beacon, hard to say...But if we did, I would imagine that a message "crying wolf" would most likely be the best candidate for them to contact us. As silly as it sounds. If not then just a standard greeting..."Take us to your leader".

I run SETI at home for 2 reasons...

Reason 1... STATS BABY! I WANT TO BE ON TOP!

Reason 2... So i can get off this damn small planet! It's just to small !
