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