I suppose the other issue is whether they are close enough to us that we could ever get in contact- I'm not sure about that but we'll see. My worry is that if we ever did, given our record in treating people with worse technology than ourselves, we would not be the kindest and most compassionate of visitors from another galaxy- and given what I know of life if they have better technology, neither might they be so.
