 RN> I think I'm going to side with Dr. Stephen W. Hawking on this one.

  Which bit that he's said?  The bit that it's foolish for naive and
undeveloped in spacefaring a race as our own to be broadcasting to the stars? 
I haven't heard anything that he's said about Ceres in particular just yet.  No
doubt I'll have to do a websearch as soon as my computer is done swapping here.
  Or did he have to say something also about the likelihood of a race trying to
contact our own?  I can't remember which one it was that said it, but I find
some credence with the thought that any race available to travel interstellarly
would probably take a look at what we're doing and say "Yeah, no, let's
consider this a flyover system," if not "Hey, all they're doing is killing each
other, we can put these resources to much better use!"
