Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I realy think extraterrestrial life exists. It's only a matter of time before we discover it. We already have discovered some planets in other solarsystems. There are billions of starsystems, perhaps 5 percent (just guessing) with planets, which still is a huge amount. Why can't there be life on one of them?

Possible benefits could be an exchange of technological information, but only if there's intelligence out there. Dangers could be wars like so many writers have tried to tell us in their SF-books.
There is also a possibility of finding bacterial or plantlife on other planets and their atmospherical conditions.

I think we should transmit some sort of beacon, we already did on one of the voyager missions, but I don't think Kurt Waldheim's voice should be on it. (My voice is much better)

I run SETI@home for fun and also for the purpose of discovering the first ALF. I think the SETI@home project is huge connecting to the internet and using other people's computerpower for analyzing data.
