I agree with Brin

While you and I both think ETI in our galaxy is unlikely, I see absolutely no value in risking contact with superior technology on their terms. I support passive SETI 100% despite my doubts it will find anything.

And thanks for contributions to the intelligence is rare thread I started but was too busy to participate in. Looks like you stimulated a good conversation.

Regards,
