SETI have always been barking up the wrong tree lol they are looking up the wrong end of the spectrum. They should be looking for a high-energy intelligent pulse up in the UV and higher, not way down in radio... what are we going to find there? not an advanced civilization capable of interstellar travel.
I guess thats why some of the ET groups went with a more 'direct' approach but once again the PTB and the Media managed to convine people that 2 guys with some string and a plank were responsible

how stupid the public are to not take this more seriously;
