Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I'm curious about other SETI paricipants and their systems. I believe every person is a marvelous mystery even more complex than the universe. I'm sure ET life exists. We may never discover it because the space time dimensions make the odds against it so great. We should not stop trying because the discovery would give us on earth a great motivation to stop all the petty political and regional bickering that has burdened our species since July 4, 1776, when the need to prove who is politically the fittest became unnecessary.

I believe we are transmitting a beacon for others to find with our commercial electromagnetic output. A special effort would be a waste of funds better used in the SETI program.

I feel that SETI is one of the most noble human endeavors of all time and consider it a priviledge to participate at home. I would like to improve my system to reduce the computer hours per unit and would welcome suggestions.
