Why do you run SETI@home?
If we did find a signal, it would be the most remarkable discovery of the millennium (or of human history). If we do not, that will show that technological species are vary rare in space and time.
I'm just doing my little bit to help.
Thoughts about ETI
There has been life on Earth for billions of years and as far as we can see we are the first technological species (TS). Most animal species seem to survive OK with limited brainpower so it seems that we evolved in strange set of circumstances and that we are an aberration. Because of the way we are affecting the planet, it may be we won't be around for long.
Probably TSs evolve quite frequently in the galaxy, but if they do not last long their messages to each other will go unheard. Perhaps we were the target of signals during an earlier epoch, or will be millions of years into the future when we'll have gone the way of the dinosaurs.
So I think we will not find messages from ET TSs, but I'd be delighted to be proved wrong !
