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

Well, ok, I guess we'll just have to disagree about this.  I think the combined experience and knowledge of the people weighing in on this question is pretty phenomenal.  No one is being critical, everyone is being generous with their opinion.  I would say that I have learned more from ISEN and Museum L over the years than from any other written source.  But to use two old listerve tropes ymmv, and that's what the delete key is for!
