    Maybe the extraterrestrials have received our signals but just decided that it would be wiser not to respond.
To: Savage Beast
    Have a look at our radio and TV broadcasts over the last 75 years. 
If you were an alien, would you want to talk to us?
 
To: petuniasevan
    No.
In fact I'd make sure it looked like there was nobody out there. Maybe that's what they've done...: "Nobody out here."
You can't blame them.

Guess we'll just have to live up to our reputation
 as the unwashed yokels of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way.

 
To: petuniasevan
    Thanks! Interesting concept, that SETI. I had wondered what successes they were having. Clicking one of the first links and hearing the sound is fascinating whether it's a stray wave from a satellite or ... ?

    LOL! Well, we're the unwashed yokels of the Earth. Might as well be the unwashed yokels of everything else while we're at it.
To: petuniasevan
    P.S. Are those great quotes yours? I'd like to put them in my famous quote file!
To: petuniasevan
    True, Earth is probably considered the "pit" of the Orion arm .... any aliens out there likely give us a wide berth (except for the occasional "tourist" ;^)
