Profile: BERNARD POLSON

Personal background
I am 67 years old and my last job was as a Director in security. I live in the city of Gloucester in the United Kingdom. My hobbies and interest included Archery, Canoeing, Dog Training, Table Tennis and Fast Draw Gun-Fighting. The last two of which I achieved championship level. Now that I am older I have slowed somewhat to an interest in computers, photography and writing poetry.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Of course there is life "out there". Otherwise why would we be looking. I believe that that we will discover other life forms when we are intelligent enough to find it and when we arrive at a point in time when we are able to understand things that are above our machines of destruction and our own greed. Only when we evolve into an age when we are capable of looking after our own planet and the species on it and only then will we able to contact another life form. Have you ever wondered what an intelligent alien life form would think of us. ET is already ringing home. We are not hearing the bell. We are not listening.

Of course there are and will be many dangers but that will never stop us looking. There are dangers in everything. Who said it would be easy.

We should still transmit until we find better ways to transmit stronger and faster signals. What information should we send to "them"? Tell them that we are still trying and ask them to be patient, very patient.

I run Seti@home because I like, in my small way, being part of the project. I see that you have now reached the four million Seti home users mark. How about trying for a billion.

Have a nice day,

Bernie.
