Unfortunately, being affiliated with a university is no guarantee that you are not a crank, nor is it a guarantee that you are immune to the danger of misinterpreting your own data. I've met Ivy-League cranks; it is a condition that can arise at any time. And falling hopelessly in love with an optimistic appraisal of your own data is something that happens to everyone, Nobel laureates and freshmen alike.

The Lord talks about gathering His creation from the ends of the Universe. As ham radio operator, I sent some radio signals into space on my own over 40 years ago. Of course, they were on frequencies not likely to be tuned in by another civilization. But, they're on their way! I am disappointed we are not putting the same effort into transmitting that we are into receiving signals."
