I think that in our situation people who come to our pages have some interest in Shin Buddhism, though maybe just in passing. I don't know how you have your pages advertised, but with ours, you need to do a specific search for Shin, Pureland or Buddhism in general. The dialogue page could be used by you in any way you find appropriate. You can link to it from The White Path Temple or just tell people it is available and give them the URL. My idea was to allow people who visited any of our pages to have a common place to come and raise questions and receive answers from all of us, rather than from one source. It would allow all of us to interact more openly. The Shin Buddhism Dialogue could be used in a number of ways. You could link to the main page which lists all of the forums or discussion groups or you could link to a specific discussion group. You could start one on any of the topics you mentioned and link to that forum. The idea again is to create more interaction from the three of you that have Shin Buddhism pages. I don't have access to CGIs yet. I am doing this myself, but it is setup so that when I have other capabilities I will be able to use a program called Hypermail which will do what I am doing automatically. Ross
