Plus what would we write that Aliens understand? We can't write words as they possibly wouldn't know the meaning, numbers are the same.
We'd have to do some sort of pictograph, like a type showing planets , orbits etc.
All our symbols have relevance in OUR world but if you saw some writing in the sand in some foreign desert would you know what it meant?

Question is, if WE produce a crop circle for them to study, how do we know that its not US that fake a reply?

I propose that when SETI sends it's signals out in space, it is unintentionaly
making crop circles in crop fields on other beings planets.
It's possible.

Heh I hadn't thought about putting a giant arrow where we'd want the reply to be..
Manpic, equation, picture -----> . . .. .. (reply here) . . .
Besides I think all we'd get it the universal middle digit reply ,l,,
or even worse a ' LOL' ( look at the stupid humans ) or EVEN worse a ' ? ' reply...
Maybe one consideration is that all these 'alien' crop circles are nothing but a 'kilroy was 'ere' symbol or an alien teen gang sign being graffitied so other alien teen gangs know that the Earf is their turf?.
