(*g*) Meant not to imply so, but there's more truth in that than might be
desired; a good speaker can 'sell' Relativity or the Importance of Truth as
easily as he can 'sell' the next Furby or brand of dust mop.

Not just biological, 'though that is my main "evolution" interest.
Yes, if you're into Dawkins, you're into evolution, primarily biological.

You're modelling evolution.  These people are educators, researchers,
students and professionals, specifically in evolution ("...Center for
Science Education" is a bit of a misnomer; they're creationism-fighters).
Interest in your work (Darwinian-ly speaking) might help to increase its
exposure.

Intellectual property rights are a bit sticky, but in the main I agree with
them.  I might like to use some Vangelis in one of my videos, but I would
not be comfortable with someone using _my_ limited excursions into music as
freely as I would like to use theirs....
