But it's important to try on so many other abstracted levels. Not to try sends out a message - about human endeavour and science, I think.

It will take many thousands of years for a signal to reach its intended destination; but as the saying goes, you have to be 'In It, To Win It!' For now, I'll sit on my SETTEE with a cold beer to wait for any life changing news. Cheers!

I see Brinn's point, but I suspect we're a pretty noisy place anyway. If an advanced civilization was capable of interstellar travel and looking for trouble...I would suspect they'd have found us by now. Interesting.
