I am pretty firmly convinced that until we stop catering to the least
common denominator, until we stop marginalizing the technically and
scientifically inclined, we will not find many youngsters who want to
come into our hobby.

I would tend to agree with that. All through school, I was somewhat of
an "outcast" because I was interested in science and technology.


And isn't that a strange thing? Women especially, can be ostracized for
interest in "non-womanly" things. And that pressure to conform can be
pretty tough. Good to see you didn't cave.

Couldn't cave because then I wouldn't be me. I simply decided I wanted to
remain myself rather than become a different person.
