BillK, the real paradox isn't so much that no civilization appears to have colonized the galaxy, but rather that there is an absence of radio signals.  I think I understand why no one has managed to cross the enormous gulf between stars: it is just too dang far for actual life forms to traverse, even at the dense core of the galaxy.  But I am still astonished there are no signals.
