It’s somewhat amazing we haven’t found anything yet. But that might tell us something about communication in general. We already know here at home that broadband frequency slicing is a more reliable and secure way of doing it.

So maybe theres only a dozen years or so out of a thousand that we might get some sort of intergalactic Mr. Ed

The original SETI program was phased out in 2005 for the current BOINC setup. It is able to process information more efficiently.

There may come a time when we conclude that we're not looking in the right spot.
