The last paragraph of the previous message should have read as follows:

(3) They have to start transmitting before we're listening. If there is a planet with intelligent life 10,000 light years from here and is in the area where we're listening, if we're listening now, they must have started radio broadcasts started no later than 9,967 years ago, since we started listening in 1985. If their world invented radio 5000 years ago, even if it is still in existence and still continuously broadcasting to this day, we will not hear them for another 4,400+ years.
