jiko: Thank you! I've missed talking with you and everyone here, and hopefully I'll be able to post more consistently than I have recently.
Dave Dale: Sure, I'm happy to help. If I'm not mistaken, you're asking about the Drake Equation, which my dad was a great proponent of, but it was formulated by his good friend (and my godfather), the astronomer Frank Drake. Here's a wiki link:
