There are legitimate technical reasons why SETI may be unviable, none of which you mention. However it is statistically undoubtable that we are just one atom in a vast ocean of life, and we are not even comparable to God, who is infinite. We can choose not to believe this, but reality is not beholden to our opinions. Percieving others may take centuries, actually contacting them may take millenia. But in the end, our fellow Earthlings will be no less mysterious than the most alien race, and what we seek in space is really ourselves. How wrong you are, bobi.

Mankind (ie: the human race, US) is the only independently intelligent race in existence---anywhere. We are second only to God. There is noone else 'out there'. The only reason I participate is to prove you wrong. bobi Though I have particip[ated as a volunteer for years, I must point out the uselessness of the SETI venture.

The question is what fraction of a femto watt can we currently detect and amplify? Has anyone thought about this and what was concluded?

I remember when I got on board back in 99 when I received my spanking new PII with 128 Mb of RAM and a 56K dial up modem. I would quaff a half dozen Molsen Ex's and stare at the screen saver. I really miss that. ( The Molsen Export that is. I live in Baltimore now and can't get it here.) Jamie Man, this takes me back.
