Profile: Chris Addison

Personal background
I never tell the truth in online venues. From past experience I know that will offend a certain percentage of you and I apologise and at least I turned the light on early.

I have large feet. I am just a little over 7' tall and have a pronounced hump due to having grown up in a 14th century hovel on the outskirts of Cheddar. The ceilings were very low. My position as an insurance adjuster allows me to regularly partake in the wonderful pleasure of denying people benefits for which they have both paid for and have desperate need.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Good, prose. None of the usual Q&A. I have been interested in space since I was a wee lad. The enormity of it and the elegant chaos are incredible to me. I do SETI@home because I think it's important to look for other life in the universe. My general feeling is that people who say there must be have no idea of the complexity of evolution while people who say there can't be have no idea how many stars there are. I'm on the bubble. If we find eveidence of past life on Mars, then my bet is that there is life everywhere. Maybe our own little trip down Phylogeny Ln didn't start here. Maybe there really are vast space empires - will it be Foundation? Dune? Farscape? Battlefield Earth (the book)? Or Hitchhiker's Guide/They're Made Out Of Meat? What does that mean for us?

That is why I do SETI@home. Rock on little green brethren.
