Nice way to put it Don.

I tend to ignore these sorts of theories for a number of reasons one of which is that as a technological species we are mere infants, our understanding of the universe while not insignificant is really only the equivalent of baby's first steps in my opinion.

We make so many assumptions about what ET is (I am very much a nuts and bolts guy by the way) and how they communicate when in truth the only real answer is we simply don't as yet know. Oh for sure we can make assumptions based on our own scientific understanding but in the end they are at best a guess an educated one but a guess none the less.

The current study of the anomaly of "Tabby's Star" is some thing I recommend we all follow, many of the natural phenomena that could explain the dimming have been ruled out thus far .... alien mega-structure? it could well be if all other explanations are ruled inadequate then logic dictates that it may very well be one.

No I don't think ET is extinct, hell there are literally trillions of galaxy's out there with billions of stars in each one and it is mans hubris to believe we are the only intelligent life.
