Concerning NIH moves away from email and FEDIX,
Mr. Luczak wrote:
"How can these moves by NIH to do away with the electronic version of
the NIH GUIDE and possibly the FEDIX Opportunity Alert system be
viewed as anything less than discrimination?  For some researchers,
NIH posting to the NIH GUIDE to the web will be just as helpful as
posting the announcements on a bulletin board in Washington, DC."

Perhaps those researchers are also the ones complaining about lack of
space in the parking lot to tie up their horses.
I am as distressed as many are about the effects of "technology" on
our psyche and culture.  However, the internet is not evil and is a
very efficient way to present lots of information.  I have pity for
those who see Nazis when they here the word "efficiency".  If we
remain (??) critical thinkers but accepting of economic realities,
the best parts of technology can and should be incorporated into our
lives.  TV and computers don't hurt children....lack of reading books
and lack of time talking with adults hurts children.
