Besides... we already sent a radio message to M13 and have yet to get a reply.
Sure!
We sent a message in 1974, 44 years ago, towards the globular cluster M13. This globular, according to a quick googling, is about 22,000 light-years away. So the fact that our message hasn't yet been received by and replied to by the "Em-thirteen-eans", and that their reply hasn't yet reached us... yes, it's troubling, isn't it?

If M13ers had developed non local technology they could have received our message and sent one back a few minutes after we sent ours (although understanding of how they could possibly do this has not reached the consideration stage yet in many scientifically inclined minds.) We would have missed their return message, though, because non locality itself was not generally considered a possibility until the past several years. M13ers would, however, know by our use of what they would consider ancient technology that we are in an era in which we would not recognize non-local technology, so they would probably just plan on sending a message, say perhaps, 50 years from now when we may have developed non-local technology capable of receiving and sending messages. Perhaps they are 'televising' 'live from Planet Earth' programs on their home planets in which we are The Flintstones, much as we CERTAINLY enjoyed Fred, Wilma and BamBam, Barney, Betty and Pebbles, Dino, etc. They would certainly enjoy those of us fortunate enough not to be involved in the catastrophes around us as we bumble humorously through our daily lives using what they consider stone age technology.
