Personal background
Howdy! I'm a software developer from the Fort Worth/Dallas metroplex, a long time Mensa member, and the grandfather of one of the cutest little girls you've ever seen. (www.CortneyJean.com) I was born in 1960 and I'm engaged to a wonderful woman who is a medical student. I raised two daughters by myself, doing the single father thing for over 20 years. I love life and try to help others when I can. I'm a big fan of taking care of the planet we're on (I even drive a gas-electric hybrid. See my web page: www.garybhaley.com/HondaInsight/hondaInsight.htm) and I try to promote father's rights whenever possible. (www.garybhaley.com/MyThoughtsOn/myThoughtsOnEqualRightsForFathers.htm -See?) By the way, the picture was taken on the way up to the top of Pike's Peak outside of Colorado Springs. Saw the sign and couldn't resist the pose. :)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I imagine that the nature of SETI will eventually prove that intelligent life once existed somewhere besides on Earth, but I honestly believe that the chances of intelligent life existing at the same time, and in close enough proximity of each other to facilitate a meeting, or even engaging in a dialog of some kind, are so remote as to be negligible. However, I might note that I'm guilty of playing the lottery on occasion.
Let me ask you this: If we WERE to make contact with an alien species of some kind, do you think we could actually communicate with them? After all, we can't even communicate with the other intelligent or semi-intelligent species on our own planet. (Whales, dolphins, elephants, other primates, or even the opposite sex...) HOW would we communicate with them?
