Not bad.

I have always maintained that only short-bus aliens would communicate with electromagnetic radiation. SETI by radio astronomy is nearly futile in my opinion. Sure there is the possibility that random and spurious ancient signals could be detected perhaps, but an intentional interstellar transmission? Extremely unlikely.
