For some reason you got caught in the spam filter. You say: No, I mean that “Searching is meaningless if no one feels the need to transmit…”, I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're saying here. Is it that we need to send signals because if the others are anything like us they'll be reluctant to send as well? But if they really are similar to us but superior, then surely they will think of this and send signals themselves? I’m sorry I havent replied earlier.
