Personal background
My name is Louise and I'm from Australia. I live in a small country town called Yass, which is not far from the capital city Canberra (where I was born).
I'm 34 and currently work for the government in Canberra.
My hobbies are astronomy, astrology, cats, reading, drag racing, volleyball, computers and many more.
I live with my partner Lee, whom I met via the internet in November 2000. He works for an IT company in Canberra.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Yes I definitely believe that there is other life out there besides us. I think it is arrogant of us to think otherwise, surely we cannot be it.
I'm not sure when and how we will discover it, perhaps we already have.
Without knowing what's out there it is hard to say what dangers there are in such a discovery, it might just be as simple a danger as not being able to communicate and misunderstanding each other.
The benefits are also hard to comment on without knowing more about what's out there but I would think there is an endless amount including the sharing of knowledge.

2. Yes I think we should because maybe we just don't have the technology to reach and study very far yet, but someone else probably can already.
Just some general information about us and our interest in reaching others for the purpose of gaining and sharing knowledge, not hostility.

3. Even though I don't have very large powerful computers, I figured any help is better than none so why not join up. More the merrier after all!
I think the project is a great idea to get as much computer power into the crunching as possible. Might as well utilise the computers that everyone has sitting around out there because it would have to be way more cost effective than trying to set it all up in one area.
