Not to mention the hubris inherent in the assumption that any aliens would consider us worthy of such an announcement. The universe is 14 Billion years old, while our civilization is roughly 10 Thousand years old. From the standpoint of an interstellar civilization, we may not be worth the miniscule effortinvolved, just like humans have never condescended to announce our presence to "lesser" species. When they see us puttering around, they may just chuckle, thinking "the filter's definitely gonna get these chumps!"
