Coincidence?
I hate to take a page from Recluse's book but really, we're apes with gunpowder. Seriously. Planet Earth is the Milky Way's version of a bad neighborhood:
Alien 1: "See that planet over there?"
Alien 2: "The blue one?"
Alien 1: "Yeah that's the one. Don't go there."
Alien 2: "Why's that?"
Alien 1: "They poison their own planet, kill each other over religion, and blow $&%# up for fun."
Alien 2: "Really? Why would anyone want to do that?"
Alien 1: "Beats me, but remember some of them are looking for us, too."
Alien 2: "Forget I asked."

That's why SETI has not found them ... they're all running away ....
