1. How did Knights' Quest get started? 
 
Buddy started Knights' Quest during his final year at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2001. In April of that year he encountered many parents over a two-week period who were struggling with their children's use of the Internet. Seeing the need, and feeling God's direction, Buddy began development of the first version of the SEX, KIDS, & THE INTERNET™ Seminar. The first presentation was in June of that year at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

2. How does Buddy research this material without having problems, himself?
 
Buddy and his team have developed several techniques to avoid becoming trapped by the lure of online pornography. One is for his wife to have the codes to filtering and other control technologies. (She also has the codes for the parental controls on the cable box, too!) Fortunately, most of the research, today, is not on pornography, itself, but is in keeping up with the new avenues predators and pornographers use to prey on our families (iPods, PSPs, MySpace.com, etc.).

3. What software does Buddy use, himself?
 
Buddy currently uses OpenDNS on his home and ministry network, with Net Nanny™ and Spector Pro2011™ on both ministry and family computers.

4. Why do you recommend both a filter and a monitor?
 
There are serveral reasons, the foremost is that the problem is not limited to web sites (which can be filtered), but also to file-sharing software, e-mail, PSPs, iPods, etc. Monitoring software covers all of these threat areas, and more, as well as allowing parents to detect web sites that the filter does not catch. (NONE are 100%!)
If you want to know where your children are, who they are playing with, what time they will be home, etc, when they are in your neighborhood, wouldn't you want to know that kind of information when they are in Cyberspace?

5. Why don't you talk about "cookies"?
 
There are several reasons we do not talk about "cookies". These include the technical nature of cookies (which many might not understand) and the fact that we believe that cookie analysis is not the best way to monitor computer activity as it is limited to web browsing and is easily cleaned up.

6. What does Buddy do when his kids violate Internet rules?
 
That is not as common of a problem these days, but it does occur very infrequently as our children are imperfect sinners, just like we all are. Our children understand that they will lose all electronic entertainment privileges for some time if they are caught in violation of the rules. When a violation occurs, the first thing we do is change their password(s) on any machines in the house that they have access to for the duration of their punishment. They are also required to surrender any portable electronic devices other than their cell phones (which they have purchased with their own money and for which they purchase the minutes!!!).
 
Beyond that, it all depends on the nature of the infraction.
