JERRY JOHNSTON: NET MUST DEAL WITH 'JOSEPH' QUESTION
If you Google the word `Mormon,` the Internet will pop up 16,500,000 sites featuring the word. Google `LDS` and you get 23 million sites - ranging from the church's official sites to off-the-wall entries like `Rum and Monkey Mormon Names` and `Bishop Booyah's Blog.`

The link to the article has expired, but I get the gist of the question.
In order for folks, particularly non-members, to research about the church, they will have to wade through a lot of "chaff" and static on the web. What's true and what's not? What's anti-Mormon propaganda and what's apologetics? What's just a bunch of nonsense posted by kids and renegades? What about the really "deep doctrine" that's out there that people are not ready for, spiritually (or even intellectually)?
Hopefully, people who are serious about looking into the church will find the official site.
