Reaching APASE and people like them

["Dukelow, James S Jr" <jim.dukelow@pnl.gov>]

An interesting thing happened to the comments that I sent to APASE regarding the
energy information on their "educational" web site.

They bounced.

After some investigation, it appears that the APASE web sites (roughly the same
material appears several different places on the web) are sailing like some
ghost vessel through cyberspace, trailing a slick of toxic disinformation, with
noone on board capable of correcting the errors.

All of the email addresses I found for APASE have bounced.  The phone number
given on the APASE site has been busy all afternoon, so I can't tell whether it
is still APASE.  All of the web pages carry 1995 or 1996 copyright notices or
indicate that they were last modified in that time frame.

The web sites suggest that the primary driver for the energy information is a
woman named Catherine Warren.  A web search turned up some interesting
information.

She is a graduate of Reed College, with a Master's in Journalism from Columbia
University.  She has been living in Vancouver, BC for at least the last 5 years
and working in area of new media.  She has written 25 books and magazine series
on science and computing for children and adults and has produced 15 websites.
Her clients and corporate partners include CTV, Northern Telecom, BC Tel, Sun
Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Microsoft, book, magazine, and web
publishers, federal and provincial ministries, and universities and schools.
Much of her effort has been directed toward science education, with a particular
focus on science education for girls.
