I think that Vladimir's points were valid, but that they definitely shouldn't have convinced you that the negative effects associated with sending signals into space are trivial (except in the trivial sense that no-one is likely to receive them).
To me that conclusion also didn't sound to be in the right place, but we did begin the discussion from that assertion, and there are arguments for that at the beginning of the discussion (not particularly related to where this thread went). Maybe something we cleared out helped with those arguments indirectly.
