If SETI found a signal, antennae all over the planet would focus on it
and large numbers of brains would consume themselves trying to sort
out and interpret the messages.
I am one who would *immediately* drop my job like a red hot
horseshoe and devote my full attention exclusively to the task.
I make no apology, and I am quite serious. I would consider
it far more important than anything else I could do.
In the meantime, I am happy to search for the next Mersenne
prime, and find lots of Mersenne composites. spike
