Some people seem to be blaming their participation on someone else.

because all the computer geeks in the office bullied me into it!! 

convince my wife to keep the computer on

A group member convinced me 

Art Bell told me it was a good idea and I should do it! I also don't have a girlfriend. 

Because THEY told me to!!!! 

Because Bob told me to... and I'm obedient. 

Because J.R."Bob"Dobbs told me to. 

I am doing it for Ed Wood 

My computer told me he wants to run the program, because he was bored...


 A few of the answers worry  the Clinic staff.  Obviously, we still have not reached all the people who need help.

Would like to find some big black aliens with long sharp teeth & claws

find ET and dissect it. Is it DNA-based? If it exists, it is likely to be fascinating inside

get off this rock full of sick animals 

help further science, and, "to impress Jodi Foster" =-)

Because I'm just sure I was orphaned on Earth!! 

We, of the other planets, want to help your planet become a peaceful member in the community of planets, and not face obliteration. We have been tapping into your internet for a good many years now. That is how we have learned your languages after discovering you through your noisy (and bizarre) radio emissions. 

I want to become a real life Trekkie, so I need a working warp drive design ... 

Hoping to find an alien like the one in "Species"  {Clinic Note:  We wonder what he would do with it if he found it?}

I have a terrible case of Mulder Syndrome

I want to find my long-lost, evil-twin, anti-matter half-brother 

Give the aliens a name and then kick in their butt. 

Revenge?

 

my g/f saw it on a friends computer and found it annoying 

Because my girlfriend thinks it's dumb. 

And some people just don't have a clue, but at least they appear to be  honest.

Who's ET? I was searching for Elvis.

I know my computer is living up to its potential even if I am not :) 

I am a compulsive volunteer! 

I did not find a plumber, maybe I will be able to find ET

I'm an Obsessive Compulsive. ;-)

Because, when people see it running on my computer they think I'm cool.
