Sending aliens our DNA code a big mistake?

There is also a rather popular crop circle event that had a supposed reply to this message.

Even the Crop Circle believing experts declared it a hoax though.

The message held the same image with alterations to the location for the aliens to the sun and it had a Triple Helix design for DNA

Put smiply,
(assuming they exist) If they wanted to get our DNA code all it would take is a single sample. The ability to decode and map DNA we allready have. I'm sure they would have a more simple and easy way too.

There are over 6 billion of us to take a sample from.

Sending it out into space was not a bad idea, because it shows we are willing to share secrets for secrets in return. Why not share benefit, it's how nations are built.

Men on the scale of biological averages are taller than women. 6 foot leggy Supermodels are not the norm. But I do note the man waiving. Why even wave? Would a species without arms or even legs even understand this gesture.
