Hi all,
Let me introduce myself to give you a hint on the background of my views below.
Born in 1967 (just became 35 in 2002), I grew up in the F.R.G. (Federal Republic of Germany), which is the N.A.T.O part of the formerly split in two parts territory of World War II looser Germany. Its legal and physical inheritors recently (since the so called reunion at the end of 1989, where one of the two states disappeared, which is usually the result of a war - the cold war in this case) grew to new world power again. Yes, Germany is the country, where millions of jewish, union members, communists and others like christian priests were murdered (under the eyes of all germans and *the world*) between 1933 and 1945. Don't need to mention the usual results of wars. It's a bit tough for me to believe in mankind, and even though I am trying my best, I'd give advice to any Extra Terrestrial Intelligence to stay away of earth for at least 2000 years more.
I used to study for teacher, discovered my interest in computers, switched to become state approved assistent in computer science, worked for an international b2b-company mainly routing data from the internet to mobile devices. Handed in my note last year.
Personal dislikes: chewing gum and Berlin.
Book I like: Dalai Lama, Seine Heiligkeit: Das Buch der Menschlichkeit. Eine neue Ethik fuer unsere Zeit.(Dalai Lama, his holyness: Ethics for the new millennium).

Again: Extraterrestrials beware of earth! No good place to be yet, if you have a choice. People here can't even keep peace within their town, not to mention the universe. If you ever find a piece of cheese inviting you to come here, be prepared to end up in slavery or worse. Don't trust us. Certainly there is a chance for mankind to grow up, but some of us are only just near getting a driving license, while others are still burning witches.
Why do I support/ participate in S.E.T.I.? The point with knowledge is, that you never know what it can be good for in the future - that's why science must be free. This piece of world-wide distributed computing is a technological beta-test and could be usefull lateron. Maybe. Maybe its use is to prove, that it's useless. Who knows. Just don't chuck the collected data, it might contain secrets usefull only for future computer-archaeologists.
Finally: do I believe in E.T.I.?
More than in an old white man with a beard sitting on a cloud watching live earth-games to get him over boring eternity.
Am I afraid of E.T.I.?
Not anymore, since I saw in the movie "Independance Day", that we can infect them via a Mac-Laptop. :-)
