Why do you run SETI@home?
I think its cool that the average home computer can help out with great projects such as SETI@home and I also do it to test the stability of any modifications I make to my computer systems. I think its worthwile because in such an expansive universe there has to be more than just us out here.

Yes we should transmit signals for other races to find, we're here and we've got to advertise it!a
