Any intelligent civilization would have either evolved heliography or
telegraphy
for specific needs. A magic-based civilization would have evolved
heliography,
a technology-based civilization would have evolved telegraphy.

You could either:
1) Think of it as a SETI exercise. CW would carry far better over
interstellar distance
on microwave frequencies than voice, RTTY, or image.

2) Just let the rest of us have some clean, healthy fun. Play is
healthy for the soul.

Too many get off on their own "realities"
and leave this dimension for some emotionally-
overloading FICTIONAL universe.

Tolkien's "Middle Earth" isn't on the ITU's
Region list and New Zealand (where the film
triology was made) still speaks English as a
primary language. Tolkien himself was an
Englishman. (snip)



To be honest, I hardly glanced at anything beyond the first paragraph.
I'll have to turn off "hide read messages" and take another look to see

what
you're talking about. Sounds silly enough to be worth the effort though.
Thanks for the heads up.
