I think it depends on what part of the WWW you're looking at.  Personally,
I see a lot of diversity out there.  I've found the web invalueable in
doing research on subjects that range from beer to UFOs.  I have seen many
sites that were breathtaking in their presentation of the spiritual and had
more content than I have the time to read.

I hate to break the news to you, but a gnostic church already has me signed
to do a web page.  It's still under construction, but we hope to have all
the links ready sometime in November, including a paper written by Stephan
Hoeller.  If anyone is curious, it can seen at:

If anyone here would like to learn HTML, I recommend "teach youself Web
Publishing with HTML 3.0 in a week" by Laura Lemay ($29.99).  It took me
more than a week, but I was busy with other things.
