Gotta agree that assuming anyone listening will be friendly is naive. If they aren’t friendly and can get here, we’re screwed based on technological disadvantage alone.
Personally I tend to think that anyone who knows we’re here is totally disinterested or simply unable to reach us.

I agree on all points.
“Thor’s Hammer” comes to mind — got enough ship to get here, they would have enough ship to drop a large rock on us at high speed.
