Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yes I believe in extraterrestrial life, whether they will contact us in this manner who knows, thats why it's worth the effort. But will we recognize it if it is in any form other than what we expect.

I think we should send out any signals possible however if they are advanced forms of life we should receive theirs before ours will get anywhere based solely on distance.

I run SETI@home pimarily because for however small the contribution, I like to think it matters.

Think about this, for argument sake lets assume all life evolves the exact same way. If that is so then the only true variable is time. for example:

If our sun is 6 billion years old and our planet is 4 billion years old and the earliest forms of homosapien life is 4 millions years old lets say there is a solar system similar to ours with a sun 7 billion years old and a planet similar to ours 5 billion years old and life evolved similar to ours, they are 1 billions years ahead of us. Where would we be one billion years from now. look at the progress we made in all phases of science in the past 100 years let alone the past 50. Something to think about. Propulsion, distance, probably not a problem. Time is the only thing that matters.
