Allen Tough responds:
Paul is quite correct. The whole point of my "Array of Search
Strategies" paper was to encourage six different strategies, ranging from
radio/optical seti to searching for physical traces of a probe. My own
strategy is to bring together 60 SETI/Contact people to issue an
invitation to ETI on the web, but I am glad other people pursue other
strategies. The paper was presented at the SETI session in Amsterdam
last month, and can be read at:
