Personal background
I'm am a currently disabled Systems Analyst & 47 yr old stay at home 3x grandfather. I love having the opportunity to assist SETI in their/our search for non-earthbound species. I have been fascinated by Space and Science Fiction since I comleted my 1st grown up books [ 20k thousand leagues under the sea, journey to the center of the earth, war of the worlds, and the I robot series/foundation serials ] at age 7 in the second grade; while the others tried to read and comprehend See Jack Run books. I had been reading the usual fluff pieces for children up until then when I tested for advance placement (I was thrown out of Catholic grammer school; they say it was for not allowing the Nuns to hit me with rulers or anything else; but, I believe it was my Irreconcilably strong belief in the evolutionary process that was my undoing there).
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
As the on-going study of our universe continues to discover other star systems with planetary bodies circulating around... much as our does; I believe it to be inevitable that we will begin finding traces of other Races/Species, since we will be able to isolate these systems for futher more intense scrutinization, while continuing our primary searches.

Much as I would love to be alive when it happens, I really don't see it happening anytime soon unless, we set a stationary stellar receiver out past the boundry of our solar system for more reliable data. I believe we have already been visited many times but have not reached the moral/ethical/religious and/or technologically advanced stage where or when the planetary crisis arising from the discovery of another race/species would not destroy us in the end. We have a long way to go until the Global Village is realized here on our planet. So far, our visiters have been fairly benign in that.... supposing the people that have been taken have also been reurned. Their horror stories suggest the kind of medical investigation our gov't would (has?) pursue in the same case.

I run Setiathome in hopes that I might be the one finding our first contact.
