Nope, I would not assume that aliens of any kind are benign. Build a wall, both a physical border barrier and an electronic separation, that will keep all aliens out until we can be sure that their presence will help us.

Yes. Especially if they just came into a big inheritance and need your help cashing the intergalactic check.

Read it.
I've seen at least one alien message.
It reads, "we've come for your vegetables and beer".

You’re using the wrong decoder ring setting. It says “Drink your Ovaltine”.

If it reads “I lost 100 quarks using one weird blart,” I’d pass on it.

They are looking in the wrong direction. They look outward and upward to the skies for signs of ETI.
The message is inside our DNA!

Pablo sent me an email offering to mow my lawn for beer. I deleted it. I don’t reply to aliens.

Just set it to auto-reply: “Hello, we’re unable to take your call right now but please leave a message to include your name, date/time of your call and a number where you can be reached. Thank you so much and have a delightful day.”

Alien messages pretty much have to be spam on a galactic scale, broadcasting willy-nilly. Fortunately we have James Vetch, a Grand Master of Spam jujitsu.

Is this a serious study? They want to try to hide our planet from ET’s by not responding to electronic signals?
We have saturated our little corner of the universe with electronic emissions covering the whole known spectrum. Emissions which extend out as far as we can monitor. Millions of miles as evidenced by communications with our space probes.
Our planet must stand out, like a neon sign on a dark night, to any ET interested in electronic emissions. And if they can understand the majority of message so transmitted, they will certainly stay the hell away from this nut house!
Any ET that has the advanced intelligence that we attribute to them would most certainly have developed more advanced method of communication.
Just my humble, uneducated opinion.

Stray television signals won’t do anything. The amount of energy required to get a signal across interstellar distances is cosmic in scale.

Enormous energy is required to get a signal across interstellar distances. The type signals SETI receives requires the energy generated by bursts from stars
