Jason;

I am sorry but I think this is not a good idea. It seems that there  
are many topics I am not interested in that I just ignore. I would  
hate to have to go to different lists for visitor service, education,  
science etc etc questions. The advantage, for me is that we are all  
concerned with science centers and that is the broader concern of the  
list. There are evolution lists but those members have very differnt  
focuses (research, academic interests etc).

I am not sure what the problem is with multiple discussions at the  
same time? I just don't see a positive argument for this and a strong  
negative one.
