ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

This is so unfortunate.  Essentially, it drives use by those who want
answers, but will no long receive cheerful ongoing monitoring by all the
rest of us.  It is a far weaker service to the field as a result.
You know...this is the second time in 2 days I've run into this....making
things work for technology, but not for the end user.  (The other was "we
don't do an annual fund personal letter anymore, we only raise $ with
e-mail now.")
So, guess what....the carefully built constituencies fall away.  What a
pity.  We really are in a silly place with technology....it's supposed to
facilitate easy relationship-building, not undermine it.

why is science not taught that way in our schools?*
