You could make things better, and be more "practical," too, by bottom
posting. I'm sure there's some sort of guide out there on the internet
that you could read, as to how to go about accomplishing that monumental
shift.

Eagle Scout project complete!

My son A.J. finished his Eagle Scout project today: construction and
installation of the Stations of the Cross on the grounds of Cardinal Ritter
High School (his alma mater) and St. Michael's Catholic Church here in
Indianapolis.

(Note to non-Catholics: the Stations of the Cross is a devotional intended to
encourage meditation on the sufferings and death of Jesus Christ. It consists
of fourteen icons depicting various events during His Passion, beginning with
his condemnation by Pilate, leading up to and ending with his body being laid
in the tomb.)

Special thanks to Carter-Lee Lumber Company of Indianapolis

used in this project.

Very nice! Congratulations on the project. Quite a woodworker you
have there. I imagine he is quite helpful in DIY repairs, with such
skills.

I see a lot of negativity from a couple of people in here. It seems
to me to be an on-topic item, moreso given the actual nature of the
group. Remember, "Non illegitimi carborundum" (in actual Latin "Noli
nothi permittere te terere") Don't let them wear you down.

For those protesting, look at the nature of the group. Have you
responded to other perceived off-topic posts in the same way? There
are plenty to be found in this group. Perhaps it was that this
project (involving DIY skills) was religious in nature and that
angered you? Remember that, even if the Constitution required the
separation of church and state (it doesn't), it certainly says nothing
about separation oc church and usenet.
