Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. I'm not 100% sure wether (intelligent) alien life exists or not, but the possibilities are very reasonable, therefore I chose to support the Seti program.

2. I think we should try contacting alien intelligence, although the current limiting transmission ranges and speeds pose a tremendous challenge for signals to be effectively transmitted.
Transmission via laser is a method that I think would be more effective, opposed to 'ordinary' radio signals.

3. See the previous statements.

Finally I believe it will be more likely for aliens to discover us, than the other way around.
