Just asked Chanur to put on her English Teaher's had and look at 
resp:30.  Here's what she wrote:

Okay. I just read the whole thing aloud. Here are my suggested 
corrections.  Most of the problems I found were typos, but there was one 
instance of what seemed awkward phrasing to me.

Under BACKGROUND

Paragraph 6

"About 1000 users have use Grex ..."
should be "have *used* Grex"

Paragraph 7

"we value that fact that"
s/b "we value *the* fact that"

Under AGE VERIFICATION WOULD UNDERMINE OUR MISSION

Paragraph 4

"much less of a unique educational experience"

This is where the phrasing bothers me. How about " a much less 
unique educational experience"? Or, since "unique" literally means "one 
of a kind" and its usage is therefore questionable here, how about "a 
much less *rewarding* or *enriching* educational experience"?


Under RESTRICTING CONTENT WOULD UNDERMINE OUR MISSION

Paragraph 5

"learn to respect community's standards ..."
s/b "learn to respect *the* community's standards"

Same paragraph

"this kind of perspective be gained"
s/b "this kind of perspective *will not be* gained"

Oh yeah -- and don't forget to fill in those brackets ... :-)

Hope that helps,

Chris
