Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
First I run Seti cause i have enough unused computing power and I think we are not alone in the Universe. If we are alone in the universe it would be an extremly nice looking Stage for really stupid actors.
My suggestions - keep on going. Maybe get some more supporting Radio Telescopes for more data from other regions of the "Sky"
