>Actually, kelley, the Taos Hum is not ridiculous. You need to do research on the Taos Hum before you make snide comments. The Navy plants transmitters in the ground. This is how they communicate with submarines out at sea. They call it Project ELF(Extremely Low Frequency). This may be the source of the "Taos Hum".
What are you refering to regarding "seti at home"? I do recall stating that the reason why we haven't found E.T.'s is because they don't want to be found. The key to survival for an advanced E.T. society that has weapons of mass destruction is to remain out of sight. An extraterrestrial society would most certainly want to avoid other civilizations that have nukes. No one offered any refutation of this--except ad hominem comments.
