When anyone brings up the subject of SETI.....who, BTW was a great Egyptian Pharaoh too....I'm always diffident in my response, simply because those ETs (if they actually exist) my not be benign. Indeed, they may be hostile, so broadcasting our existence to all and sundry, is perhaps not entirely wise. I'm aware that every electronic broadcast that man has made since the beginning, is out there, but do we really need to advertise our presence by beaming signals on frequencies that the broadcast spectrum doesn't cover?

IMHO, this is yet another example of American belief in the essential 'goodness' of everything. Quite juvenile, IMO.

I heard a snippet on ABC tv the other day about the guy who designed the placard for the Voyager probe.

He was saying the same thing - that it may have been a mistake, in case an advanced race comes across it, and decides it wants to do us harm.

Hasn't stopped me from using the BOINC interface on and off for years. More Einstein and Folding, but SETI has been in there a few times.

I used to run SETI many years ago, it would run well for a long time then start crashing every second day or so.

Maybe I should try it again to see if they have fixed the glitches.
