Personal background
I became a member of the SETI@HOME project the day it was first announced on the Discovery Channel on May 16th, 1999. Lately, I had been neglecting my search for ET (hadn't run the saver for the past year). However, I have now come back with a vengance to make up for lost cycles. AT one point I had up to 6 home networked PC's running flavours of Linux/Win98/W2K/XP command line clients. Plus 3 other machines at work.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
ET is most definitely out there someplace (after all wouldn't it be a gigantic waste of space otherwise). The big un-answered question is how far out there? If they haven't tuned out watching our re-run episodes of Gilligan's Island or given up on us all together because of our "Reality TV Shows" by now, we should definitely look to send a more interesting beacon to them. How about we air the movie Contact 24 hours a day? Beside October Sky and Apollo 13 this would be my third favorite movie of all time.
