Don't know much about "CSETI". As for "SETI" go to: http://www.setileague.org The organization has been headed by its creator, Richard Factor, an entrepreneur of advance electronic equipment such as those used in video delay feeds. See "Eventide Inc." at: http://eventide.com/. Think of Janet Jackson's recent "bear it all" debacle on TV - the one that permanently scarred for life the lives of countless small innocent children because they saw a little extra bit of... (yeah, right!) That unfortunate event turned out to be a most fortunate turn of events as far as Eventide Inc. was concerned. Everyone wanted a video delay feed. As for SETI's objective, it is my understanding that the organization has attempted to detect evidence of background EM "detritus" of extraterrestrial civilizations through the detection of specific frequencies such as within the microwave realm. I think they are trying to perform their searches in such a way as to not upset the scientific establishment and the prevailing paradigms concerning the matter of ETs, whether they exist or not. I'm not an expert on these EM fields so don't quote me! ;-) Maybe they will eventually find something, maybe not. Who knows. In the meantime SETI serves another useful purpose for Mr. Factor.
