I second the opinion to host the information on PLUG's site. I know that 
there would be a lot of useful info there. ...and as far as your church 
trying to limit it's member's use of the Net, why don't they suggest a 
filter to them? I did a quick search on Google and found several options 
listed. I personally do not have any filters installed, bu t my pastor 
and others in my church use them.

Don't worry.  We'd laugh at the cat lovers as well.  No harm
intended.  [;-)]

"Evil"?  I think I hear the words of an individual with little
experience.  They need to keep in mind that the first amendment doesn't
just apply to them.

In the case of spending more time offline, that is certainly a common
thread among society.  However, if the religious leader of choice can
spend a couple of hours a day talking to people, then they should
respect my right to do the same.

Your project sounds like it is dying to be placed on the PLUG website,
though.  [:-)]
