Consider they are not interstellar, but inter-demisional in nature. Takes care of the vast distances for interstellar aliens.
As for the original thread, we read the message for sure. As for replying, I suspect that I Love Lucy will do so for us at some point.
Give to Hillary. It will disappear.
I'm ok with that as long as it isn't the female doctor
More likely someone in the SW was rebroadcasting old transmissions.
We should slap the aliens with a supoena for Hillary’s missing emails. On way I figure we’ll every second those again.
You are number 599 in the queue.... Please be patient, as we work to answer call as soon as possible. Your call is very important to us. You are now number 597 in the queue....
We are natives in dugout canoes compared with aliens who have star ships.
We would just be used as zoo animals or food.
“It’s a cookbook!”
Anyone listening for a hundred light-years knows about the exchanges between Carpathia and Titanic.

10 SETI Messages That We May Not Want to Receive An exploration of alternative SETI messages that may not say hello. | Published on Nov 6, 2017 | John Michael Godier | from his Patreon page -- "I am passionate about all science fiction, however with my own writing I want to create hard science fiction stories that blow people's minds but stay within the confines of the scientifically possible. Plus, I just want to spin a good old fashioned entertaining yarn in the process. In addition, I am an aspiring documentary filmmaker and maintain a science and technology based YouTube channel showcasing interesting and unusual subjects from the realm of hard science and futurism." John Michael Godier
"But I am not really willing to accept your premise, because it may well be that the means of communications they have are of a kind that we do not know how to receive, and that they would not have the means of communicating with sufficiently powerful radio or optical signals. That is something which, technologically, is too difficult for them but they would have some other means we would not recognize." -- Thomas J. Gold, 'Communication with Extraterrestial Intelligence' (Sagan, ed)
"To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow." -- Metrodorus, 4th c BC Greek philosopher
"Heaven and earth are large, yet in the whole of space they are but as a small grain of rice. How unreasonable it would be to suppose that, besides the heaven and earth which we can see, there are no other heavens and no other earths." -- Teng Mu, 13th c AD Chinese philosopher
