Personal background
I'm a 36 yr old father of 2, and a lover of the Universe. I'm a manager in a factory in the daytime, and a spiritual/psychic counselor/teacher in the evening. I try to keep all my options open at all times and love to meet new people. My personal website is www.spiritsoftruth.com =)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
This universe is so vast and multi layered, that it would be impossible for me to consider it to be anything but inhabited by numerous other species and beings. Altho it could occur at any time, and I hope it happens tomorrow, I think we probably won't make actual verifiable meaningful contact with extraterrestrial beings until we reach out farther in our own exploration of space.

We should not transmit a beacon for others to hear. Altho any beings out there close enough or sophisticated enough to hear it and come running would likely be far more emotionally advanced in wisdom and peace than we are, I don't think it's worth the chance we'd be taking by announcing our presence to beings who outweigh us 10-fold technologically. As a Human might disregard or view as pests, a colony of ant-like creatures on another planet, powerful visitors who come-a-callin' here may view us the same way and handily stomp us into oblivion as they seek the real intelligence on this planet.

I run the seti program to help out.....to be a spoke in the wheel. While I realize that my screen saver will likely never discover the signal of a lifetime....I think the cause is worth it and I plan to run it indefinitely.
My only negative feeling about it is the time it takes to process each signal. I'd rather run a more sophisticated program that takes 30 minutes to examine each signal file, instead of a small program that takes many hours to process them. It would make more sense to me to do it that way but I spose there are reasons I'm not aware of that makes that impossible at this time. There's always tomorrow. Peace. =)
