Personal background
I'm living in Germany, close to Frankfurt/Main.
I've been studying physics (atom physics, nuclear physics and solid surface analysis) and am working now in IT business.
Still I'm with my heart a physicist.
As universe is vast and I don't believe in the case that we're the one and only singularity, there must be something else - maybe not as evolved, maybe far beyond our state of comprehension.
If, what we might find one day is of the first - not as evolved - we still
might see evolution doing it again - if it is of the second type we either
will have to take care or will have the chance to make a leap forward - in
both cases we will learn a lot.
I'm fairly sure it will not be like E.T. and it will not be like anything
we've been watching in the cinema ;-) but I'd really like to see it happen.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. - see my comments - yes, it will to whatsoever extent.
1.a) if there is something, we're bound to find it some time, if we're looking
for it.
1.b) you never really know unless you've tried it.

2. - if we should or not - anyway, we're doing it. Earth irradiates as much
'unnatural' signals, that we do not really need specifically such a thing.
If someone does a similar thing like we do here, they would be bound
too to come across us.

3. I think it is a grand idea to share ressources so many at hand and so
feebly used.

Suggestions:
- Share the outcome of your research on your site, freely to be accessed.
- do it with plain explanations and good background, so anyone might
have a chance to understand a bit more about the world.

That would be a good reward for anyone helping you.
(as I've seen it here already for a beginning)
