I could not get into the evaluation form that came by e-mail, nor could I find it on the website. I would have voted emphatically "yes" for a printed program. It serves many purposes, both immediate and in the long term. Moreover, believe it or not, a few of us have resisted the inexorable march toward smartphones and Instant Access to (not quite) Everything.
