Hope your Christmas is a great one btw.

As you (and Robert Bigelow) said, you don't have to look "out there" for these entities...they're right here.
My formal training is in Electrical Engineering, specifically radio, backed by almost 40 years of field experience. I have wondered for years why so many people associated with SETI believe an advanced civilization would use something as primitive as radio for interstellar communications.
