Personal background
Hello. I'm using SETI in hopes that we do contact ET. I hope we do that before I die. I'm relativey young, 52, but I can feel the `nigglings' of `shucking this mortal coil.`

According to the scan monitor, I've done 9 of these things, so far. I hope to do more with my antique equipment (233Mhz, K6MM, 384 Mb, cable).

I sell car parts for a living - aspire to do more in the computer world & have undertaken courses in programming ( got turned on in 1990 ) - fancy myself as a writer & collect fanfic, S/T of all sorts, HighLander ( Ah yes, the dream of immortality ), Forever Knight, The Pretender, Space: Above & Beyond, & of course, X-Files. I have a high imagination quotient - if it's thunk, it's possible!

Communication via email, cbrown_10@hotmail.com, thank you.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yes, ET does exist. Humans have to discover this, if they haven't already. We shouldn't hide in our secluded section of the universe. As our own history depicts, we go out & grab what's there.

As to the benefits and/or disadvantages of contact, well, we'll just have to take it as it comes, won't we?

Maybe there is a superiour race out there, but they have to prove it to us, right? We are a stubborn vermin, aren't we?

We really should make undue effort to send contact in whatever way we can devise, whether beacon, satellite or spacecraft. `They' will find us. I'd kinda like it if we found `them' first, though.

And as far as question #3 goes, more scoping/scanning. We really have to escalate our efforts. Whine to the Gov't about how precious this stuff really is. If the US Gov't won't respond, then ask Canada will respond. We Canucks always respond to so-called `useless' projects - Hell, just remember the Avro! It was the progenitor of the US Tomcat series, was it not?

Anyways, that's left for another forum, eh?
