That's right along the lines of what we'd already discussed with the
author. I think that any further discussion of the document should be
used with the above as well, just to make sure there's no confusion as
to what the HOWTO is about.

That would all depend on how it relates to Linux, silly. :D
Since the Religious Text Translation covers performing the task of
translation in the Linux environment, it has value. There is a unique
presentation format to consider as well, common to religious text.
I can't imagine for the life of me how you could make a HOWTO out of
Urantia that was Linux-related. If you were kidding, good luck to you,
and if you weren't, more of the same anyway!
