As one of the sixty, let me add:
Bizarre? Perhaps. No, I don't "believe" anything; I merely hope. I'm
not so sure that ETI monotors the web. In fact, I find it highly unlikely
that such signals could be decoded, and interpreted, even if monotored.
But I could be wrong! Dr. Tough's 'Invitation to ETI' is a cheap and
painless way to attempt contact. If I'm wrong, and we don't make the
attempt, I'll feel pretty foolish...
More important than the message content to ETI is that Allen's effort is a
profound message of optimism to our fellow Earthlings. In that light, how
can we not support it?
